A
$4$
B
$6$
C
$5$
D
None of these
Solution
Cost price of $200$ dozen oranges $=200 \times 10=₹ 2000$ Transportation cost $=Rs. 500$.
$\therefore$ cost Price $( C . P )=2000+500=Rs. 2500$
Selling Price $(S.P.)$ $=200 \times 12 \times 1=Rs. 2400$
Loss $= C \cdot P \cdot- S.P. =2500-2400= Rs. 100$
$\therefore \quad$ Loss $\%=\frac{\operatorname{Loss} \times 100}{\text { C.P. }}=\frac{100 \times 100}{2500}=4 \%$
