A Correct answer
Explanation

Let cost price be 100. Selling price = 127. Tarun pays 67% of the selling price = 0.67 * 127 = 85.09. Aman's loss = 100 - 85.09 = 14.91.

AI explanation

Let the cost price be Rs. 100, making the selling price Rs. 127. Since Tarun pays only 67 paise per rupee, the amount Aman actually receives is 127 multiplied by 0.67, which equals Rs. 85.09. The loss incurred by Aman is 100 minus 85.09, resulting in a loss of Rs. 14.91. The result is 14.91%.
