Correct Answer: $9\frac{1}{11}\%$
Solution : Let the selling price be Rs. 100. And loss = 10% of the selling price = Rs. 10 We know that CP = SP + Loss, where CP is the cost price, and SP is the selling price. So, the CP = 110 Loss % = $\frac{\text{Loss}}{\text{CP}} × 100=\frac{10}{110}$ × $100=9\frac{1}{11}\%$ Hence, the correct answer is $9\frac{1}{11}\%$.
