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.
