Correct Answer: INR 95
Solution : Given: The selling price of a book is INR 855. The loss incurred through the sale is 10%. Use the formula, Loss percentage = $\frac{\text{CP – SP}}{\text{CP}}\times 100$ where $\text{SP}$ and $\text{CP}$ are the selling price and the cost price $10 = \frac{\text{CP – 855}}{\text{CP}}\times 100$ ⇒ $CP = 10 CP - 10\times 855$ ⇒ $9 CP = 8550$ ⇒ $ CP =$ INR 950 The nominal amount of loss incurred = INR 950 – INR 855 = INR 95 Hence, the correct answer is INR 95.
