Options:

  • (A) 0% (neither profit nor loss)
  • (B) 1% loss
  • (C) 1% gain
  • (D) 2% gain

Answer Key:

A

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

Selling price factor $= 0.90$. Cost incurred is for 90 cm $= 0.90$ m. Effective factor $= 0.90 / (90/100) = 0.90 / 0.90 = 1.0$. Thus there is 0% profit or loss.
