Correct Answer: 33.33%
Solution : Let the cost price of one article be Re. 1. $\therefore$ Cost price of 10 articles = Rs. 10 Now the cost price of 10 articles = the selling price of 15 articles Selling price of 1 article $=\frac{10}{15}=\frac{2}{3}$ $\therefore$ Loss percentage = $[\frac{\text{Cost price – Selling price}}{\text{Cost price}}] \times100$ = $[\frac{1 - \frac{2}{3}}{1}] \times100$ = $33.33\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 33.33%.
