A. 120%
B. 90%
C. 30%
D. 60%
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Let the number of toffees bought be (2 x 5) = 10C.P. of 10 toffees $$ = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,\left( {\frac{1}{2} \times 10} \right) = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,5$$
S.P. of 10 toffees $$ = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,\left( {\frac{1}{5} \times 10} \right) = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,2$$
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Loss}}\% = \left( {\frac{3}{5} \times 100} \right)\% \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 60\% \cr} $$
