Solution : Given: If a man reduces the Selling Price of a fan from Rs. 1,250 to Rs. 1,000, his loss increases by 10%. Let the Cost Price of the fan be Rs. $x$ According to the question, 10% of $x$ = 1250 – 1000 ⇒ $\frac{10x}{100}=250$ ⇒ $x=\frac{250×100}{10}$ ⇒ $x=2500$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 2,500.
