Correct Answer: Loss 1%
Solution : Marked price, $MP$ = INR 550 Cost price, $CP=\frac{MP\times 100}{(100+10)}$ = $\frac{550\times 100}{(110)}$ = INR 500 Selling price after 10% discount on marked price, $SP = \frac{550\times (100-10)}{100}$ = $\frac{550\times 90}{100}$ = INR 495 Now, loss percentage = $\frac{(CP-SP)}{CP}\times 100$ = $\frac{(CP-SP)}{CP}\times 100$ = $\frac{(500-495)}{500}\times 100$ = 1% Hence, the correct answer is 'Loss 1%'.
