  • Correct Answer

    Explanation

    Let the cost price of each mango be Rs. 1

    So 50 mangoes costs = Rs. 50

    20% Profit on Selling Price of 10 mangoes = Rs. 12 

    30% Profit on Selling Price of 20 mangoes = Rs. 26

    Total = Rs. 38

    Loss = 50 - 38 = 12

     

    Loss% = (12/50) x 100 = 24%.
