Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 25% loss.

Given that

If a man purchases kismis at ₹320 per kg and sells it at ₹6 per 25 grams

According to the question

C.P. = ₹320 per kg

S.P. = ₹6 × 40 per kg = ₹240 per kg

So, Loss = C.P. - S.P. = 320 - 240 = ₹80 

Hence, Loss % = (loss/C.P.) × 100 = 8000/320 = 25%
