Solution

The correct option is C

17.5% Loss


Cost price of refrigerator = (2500 + 1500) = 4000
[Sohan had to spend 1500 on repairs]

Loss = CP - SP = (4000 - 3300) = 700
(because the cost price is greater than the selling price)

Loss percentage= LossCP×100 = 7004000×100 = 17.5%

Hence, loss percent = 17.5%
