Correct Answer: 1% loss
Solution : Given: The marked price is 10% higher than the cost price. A discount of 10% is given on the marked price. Let the cost price (CP) = 100 So, the marked price (MP) = (100 + 100 × $\frac{10}{100}$) = 110 After a 10% discount, the selling price (SP) = MP – MP × $\frac{\text{discount percentage}}{100}$ = 110 – 110 × $\frac{10}{100}$ = 110 – 11 = 99 So, the loss percentage = $\frac{CP-SP}{CP}×100$ = $\frac{100-99}{100}×100$ = 1% Hence, the correct answer is 1% loss.
