Detailed Solution & Logic
Correct Answer:
Profit, $36\frac{4}{11}$/ लाभ $36\frac{4}{11}$
Solution / समाधान (Simple):
Let Cost Price (CP) of 1 kg = 100
He sells at 25% loss ⇒ Selling Price (SP) of 1 kg = 75
But he uses 45% less weight ⇒ gives only 55% weight = 0.55 kg
👉 CP of 0.55 kg = $100 \times 0.55 = 55$
👉 SP of 0.55 kg = 75
Profit = $75 - 55 = 20$
Profit % = $\frac{20}{55} \times 100 = \frac{2000}{55} = 36\frac{4}{11}%$
Final Answer / अंतिम उत्तर: Profit, $36\frac{4}{11}$%
