Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 10% loss

Given:

Fruit vendor bought bananas at the rate of 6 bananas for Rs. 5 and sold them at the rate of 4 bananas for Rs. 3

Formula used:

Loss percent = (Loss/CP) × 100

Calculation:

Number of bananas bought = LCM of (6 and 4) = 24

C.P = (5/6​) × 24 = Rs. 20

S.P = (3/4) × 24 = Rs. 18

Loss = 20 – 18 = Rs. 2

Loss percent = (2/20) × 100 = 10%
