Question

Suresh sells a car at the loss of 36 percent. What will be the ratio of cost price to selling price?

A.

16:25

B.

15:16

C.

25: 16

D.

4:5

Correct option is C

Given:

Loss = 36%
Let the cost price (C.P) be Rs. 100.
Solution:

Since Suresh incurs a loss of 36%, the selling price (S.P) will be:
S.P = C.P - Loss = 100 - 36 = 64
The ratio of cost price to selling price is:
C.P/S.P = 100/64 = 25/16
Thus, the correct ratio is 25:16.
