By selling a cup for Rs. 1792 a man earns a profit of 12 percent. If he sells it for Rs. 1472, then what will be the loss percent?

Correct option is A

Given:
Selling Price = Rs. 1792
Profit = 12%
New Selling Price = Rs. 1472

Formula Used: 

$$\text{Profit} \% = \frac{\text{Selling Price -Cost Price}}{\text{Cost Price}} \times 100$$​​

$$\text{Loss } \% = \frac{\text{Cost Price - Selling Price}}{\text{Cost Price}} \times 100$$​​
Solution:

​$$\text{C.P} = \frac{1792}{1.12} = 1600$$​​
​$$\text{Loss } \% = \frac{1600 - 1472}{1600} \times 100 = 8 \%$$​​
