    B 18% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 37.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 40% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution


    Let the cost price of 1 metre of cloth = Rs.1

    The cost price of 90 metres of cloth = Rs. 90

    The cost price of 240 metres of cloth = Rs. 240

    Loss = the cost price of 90 metres of cloth = Rs.90

    Loss percent = (Loss/Cost price) X 100

    Loss percent = (90/240) X 100 = 35%
