Solution :
Given,
A girl purchases 9 mangoes for Rs. 90 and sells 10 mangoes for Rs. 95.
⇒ Cost Price of each mango = $\frac{90}{9} =\text{Rs. }10$
And Selling Price of each mango = $\frac{95}{10} = \text{Rs. }9.5$
Loss percentage = $\frac{10-9.5}{10}\times 100 = 5\%$
Hence, the correct answer is a 5% loss.
