Correct Answer: 2.5% loss
Solution : Profit = 10% of 60,75,000 = Rs. 607500 Loss = 15% of 60,75,000 = Rs. 911250 Overall loss = 911250 – 607500 = 303750 Loss% = $\frac{\text {Total loss}}{\text{Total cost}}\times 100$ = $\frac{ 303750}{2\times 60,75,000}\times 100 =2.5\% $ Hence, the correct answer is 2.5% loss.
