Correct Answer: 25% loss


Solution : The cost price of 1 kg kishmish = INR 320
The selling price of 25 grams of kishmish = INR 6
The selling price of 1 kg kishmish = $\frac{6}{25}×1000$ = INR 240
Loss percentage = $\frac{\text{Cost price – Selling price}}{\text{Cost price}}×100=\frac{320-240}{320}\times 100=\frac{80}{320}×100=25\%$
Hence, the correct answer is a 25% loss.
