  1. The C.P of 10 articles is equal to the S.P. of 15 articles. What is the profit or loss percentage?
    1. 25.5%
    2. 35%
    3. 10%
    4. 33.3%
Correct Option: D

Let C.P. of each article be Re. 1.
C.P. of 15 articles = Rs. 15
Their S.P. = Rs. 10
Loss = C.P. - S.P. = 5 - 10 = 5

∴ Loss percent =
Loss
× 100
C.P. of 15 articles

Loss percent =
5
× 100
15

Loss percent =
100
= 33.3%
