A person bought bananas at 6 for ₹12 and sold them at 8 for ₹10. Find his gain or loss percentage?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 37.5% loss.

Cost Price of 1 banana = 12612\over6 = ₹2

Selling Price of 1 banana = 10810\over8 = ₹1.25

Loss per banana = 2 − 1.25 = ₹0.75

Loss% = 0.7520.75\over2 × 100 = 37.5%
