Correct Answer: 27 : 25
Solution : Let cost price as $C$ and marked price as $M$. According to the question, Selling Price($S$) = $\frac{5}{6}M$ Loss percentage = 10% ⇒ Selling Price = 90% of the Cost Price ⇒ $S = \frac{9}{10}C$ ⇒ $\frac{9}{10}C=\frac{5}{6}M$ ⇒ ${\frac{M}{C}}$ = $\frac{54}{50}$ ⇒ ${\frac{M}{C}}$ = $\frac{27}{25}$ Hence, the correct answer is 27 : 25.
