Nandini Basu bought an article for Rs. 5844. She gave Rs. 156 to a mechanic to remove its defect. She then sold it for Rs. 5700. What was her loss percent ?

A. 5%

B. 5.5%

C. 2.5%

D. 2.46%

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Actual cost price of an article :
= Rs. (5844 + 156)
= Rs. 6000
Selling price of that article = Rs. 5700
Loss = Rs. (6000 - 5700) = Rs. 300
Loss percent :
= $$\frac{300}{6000}$$ × 100
= 5%
