Correct Answer: 25%
Solution : Selling price = INR 300 Discount = INR 140 Marked price = selling price + discount = 300 + 140 = INR 440 Marked price = 110% of cost price ⇒ INR 440 = $\frac{110}{100}$ × cost price $\therefore$ Cost price = $\frac{44000}{110}$ = INR 400 Now, Loss = cost price – selling price = 400 – 300 = INR 100 $\therefore$ Loss percentage $=\frac{\text{Loss}}{\text{Cost price}}× 100 = \frac{100}{400}× 100 = 25\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 25%.
