Rohan purchased a table for Rs. $1200$ and due to some scratches on its top he had to sell it for Rs. $1000$. Find his loss per cent.

• A. $11.11$ $\%$
• B. $22.22$ $\%$
• C. $13.33$ $\%$
• D. $16.66$ $\%$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $16.66$ $\%$

Rohan purchased a table for ars. $1200$ and sell it or Rs. $1000$.

Thus, C.P. $=$ Rs. $1200$ and S.P. $=$ rs. $1000$

Loss $=$ CP $-$ SP
Loss $=1200-1000=200$
Loss $\%=$ $\frac{loss}{CP}\times 100=\frac{200}{1200}\times 100=16.66$ $\%$
