Anil bought some articles at 6 for ₹ 8 and sold them at 10 for ₹ 12. His percentage loss orgain is:
Cost price of 6 articles = ₹ 8
$$\Rightarrow$$ Cost price of 1 article = $$\frac{8}{6}$$ = ₹ $$\frac{4}{3}$$
Selling price of 10 articles = ₹ 12
$$\Rightarrow$$ Selling price of 1 article = $$\frac{12}{10}$$ = ₹ $$\frac{6}{5}$$
Loss of 1 article = $$\frac{4}{3}-\frac{6}{5}=\frac{20-18}{15}=$$ ₹ $$\frac{2}{15}$$
Loss% $$=\frac{\frac{2}{15}}{\frac{4}{3}}\times100=\frac{2}{15}\times\frac{3}{4}\times100=10\%$$
Hence, the correct answer is Option A
