A man sold his bicycle for ₹810 losing two-fifth of its cost price. What is the loss percentage?
Answer
The correct answer is A: 40%. Let cost price = 5x. Loss = 2x, so SP = 3x = 810 → x = 270.
- A.40%✓ Correct
- B.45%
- C.35%
- D.50%
Let cost price = 5x. Loss = 2x, so SP = 3x = 810 → x = 270. CP = 1350, Loss = 540. Loss% = 540/1350 × 100 = 40%.
