Correct Answer: 16.66 percent
Solution : $\small SP=CP+(\frac{\text{Profit Percentage}}{100})×CP$ where $SP$ is the selling price and $CP$ is the cost price. ⇒ $1056=CP+0.1×CP$ ⇒ $1056 = 1.1 CP$ ⇒ $CP = \text{Rs. }960$ Now, Loss Percentage $=\frac{\text{Cost Price − Selling Price}}{\text{Cost Price}}×100$ ⇒ Loss Percentage $=\frac{960-800}{960}\times 100 = \frac{160}{960}\times 100 = \frac{4}{24}\times 100$ ⇒ Loss Percentage $= 16.66\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 16.66 percent.
