Suresh sells a car at a loss of 36 percent. What will be the ratio of cost price to selling price?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 25 : 16.
Let the CP of the car be x
Since Suresh sells the car at a loss of 36%,
The SP = x - 0.36x
⇒ SP = 0.64x
Required ratio
CP/SP = x/0.64x = 1/0.64 = 100/64 = 25/16
Therefore, the ratio of the cost price to the selling price is 25 : 16
