Solution

The correct option is A 20
Cost price of refrigerator = ₹(2500 + 1500) = ₹4000
[Sohan had to spend ₹1500 on repairs]

Loss = CP - SP = ₹(4000 - 3200) = ₹800
(because the cost price is greater than the selling price)

$Loss percentage = \frac{L o s s}{C P} \times 100$
$= \frac{800}{4000} \times 100 = 20 %$

Hence, loss percent = 20%
