Correct answer: B

Let the cost price (CP) be 100.

Then, marked price (MP) = CP + 10% of CP = 100 + 10 = 110.

Now, 10% discount is allowed on MP: Discount = 10% of 110 = 11.

Selling price (SP) = MP - Discount = 110 - 11 = 99.

Since SP = 99 and CP = 100, there is a loss of 1.

Loss percentage = (1/100) × 100 = 1%.

हिन्दी उत्तर:

मान लीजिए क्रय मूल्य (CP) = 100।

तब, अंकित मूल्य (MP) = CP + CP का 10% = 100 + 10 = 110।

अब, MP पर 10% छूट दी जाती है: छूट = 110 का 10% = 11।

विक्रय मूल्य (SP) = MP - छूट = 110 - 11 = 99।

चूँकि SP = 99 और CP = 100, इसलिए 1 की हानि हुई।

हानि प्रतिशत = (1/100) × 100 = 1%।
