Correct Answer: 6.25% loss
Solution : Cost price of 10 shirts = Rs. 8000 Cost price of 1 shirt $= \frac{8000}{10}=800$ Selling price of 12 shirts = Rs. 9000 Selling price of 1 shirt $=\frac{9000}{12}=750$ Loss = cost price – selling price = 800 – 750 = 50 Loss percentage = $\frac{\text{Loss}}{\text{Cost price}}\times 100$ = $\frac{50}{800}\times 100$ = 6.25% Hence, the correct answer is a 6.25% loss.
