Correct Answer: 5% loss
Solution : Given: Investments are in the ratio 1 : 3 Let the investment be 100 and 300. When profit of 10% on the first investment, then profit = $\frac{10}{100}×100=10$ When loss of 10% on the second investment, then loss = $\frac{10}{100}×300=30$ Overall loss = 30 - 10 = 20 Total investment = 400 Loss% = $\frac{20}{400}×100=5$% Hence, the correct answer is 5% loss.
