Correct Answer: Loss, 10%
Solution : MP is 50% more than CP Here the cost price is denoted by CP, the selling price is denoted by SP, and the marked price is denoted by MP. Let CP = 100$x$ So, MP = 150% of $x$ = 150$x$ After discount of 40%, SP = 60% of 150$x$ = 90$x$ So, loss = 100$x$ - 90$x$ = 10$x$ Loss% = $\frac{\text{Loss}}{\text{CP}}$ × 100 = $\frac{10x}{100x}$ × 100 = 10% Hence, the correct answer is Loss, 10%.
