    A trader sold an item for Rs. 1800 and made a profit of

    25%. If he had sold it for Rs. 1200 instead, what would be the profit or loss percentage?
    A 16.67% loss Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 14.47% profit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 18.18% profit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 21.20% loss Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    ATQ,

    Cost price = 1800 / 1.25 = Rs. 1440

    Loss = 1440 – 1200 = Rs. 240

    Loss percentage = (240 / 1440) × 100 = 16.67% loss
