If Malay buys guavas at ₹300 per kg and sells them at ₹25 per 100 gm., then he will have (rounded off to 2 decimal places):

Correct option is A

Given:

Cost Price of guavas =₹300 per kg

Selling Price of guavas = ₹25 per 100gm

Formula Used:

Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price

Loss Percentage =$$\frac{Loss}{Cost \ Price} \times 100$$​​

Solution:

Cost Price = ₹300 per kg

Selling Price = ₹25 per 100gm

Sellling Price per kg = $$\left(\frac{25}{100gm}\right) \times \frac{10}{10} = \frac{250}{1000gm}$$​​

= ₹250 per kg

Loss = 300 - 250 = ₹50

Loss Percentage = $$\frac{50}{300} \times 100 = 16.67\%$$​

So Malay will have a loss of 16.67%
