Correct Answer: 50%
Solution : The ratio of the selling price and the cost price = 1 : 2 Let the selling price be $x$ and the cost price is $2x$. Loss percentage = $\frac{\text{cost price - selling price}}{\text{cost price}} × 100$ = $\frac{2x-x}{2x} × 100$ = $\frac{100x}{2x}$ = 50% Hence, the correct answer is 50%.
