2) 8 4/7% loss
3) 9 3/8% profit
4) 9 3/8% loss
5) None

Read Solution (Total 2)

Ans 2.
Cp of 1 fruit =5/4
Sp of 1 fruit =8/7
Cp>sp
Loss%=((cp-sp)/cp)*100
=> {(5/4 - 8/7)/5/4}*100
=> 8 4/7.

C.P of 4= Rs5
C.P of 1= Rs5/4
S.P of 7= Rs8
S.P of 1= Rs8/7
Loss= 5/4 - 8/7 = 3/28
Loss percent= (3/28)/(5/4)*100 = 60/7
Loss percent= 8 4/7%
