Answer» Step-by-step explanation: IS THE 24 - NO. OF. R? OK, # *RATE* of *buying= 15 Rs. per* 24 R *cost* of 1 R = 15/24 Rs # *rate* of *selling* = Rs. 10 per 18 R cost of 1 R = 10/18 Rs. # GAIN/ LOSS = s. p- c. p = 10/18-15/24 = 40- 45/ 72 = -5/72 so. s. p< c. p so loss % = loss/c. p× 100 = 5/72/15/24 × 100 = 100/ 9 = 11.11 ( approx) (ans**)

Step-by-step explanation:

IS THE 24 - NO. OF. R?

OK,

# RATE of buying= 15 Rs. per 24 R

cost of 1 R = 15/24 Rs

# rate of selling = Rs. 10 per 18 R

cost of 1 R = 10/18 Rs.

# GAIN/ LOSS = s. p- c. p

= 10/18-15/24

= 40- 45/ 72

= -5/72

so. s. p< c. p

so loss % = loss/c. p× 100

= 5/72/15/24 × 100

= 100/ 9

= 11.11 ( approx) (ans)
