Correct Answer: 10.32%
Solution : Let the cost price ($CP$) be 100. Marked price ($MP$) after 18% profit, $MP=\frac{100\times (100+18)}{100}$ = 118 Selling price after 24% discount = $\frac{118\times(100-24)}{100}$ = $\frac{(118\times76)}{(100\times100)}$ = 89.68 Hence, loss percentage = $\frac{(CP-SP)}{CP}\times 100$ = $\frac{100 - 89.68}{100}\times 100$ = 10.32% Hence, the correct answer is 10.32%.
