C Correct answer
Explanation

The cost of one item is 20/10 = 2 rupees, while the selling price of one item is 10/20 = 0.5 rupees. The loss is 1.5 rupees on a cost of 2 rupees, so the loss percentage is 75%.

AI explanation

The cost price of one item is Rs. 20 / 10, which is Rs. 2. The selling price of one item is Rs. 10 / 20, resulting in Rs. 0.50. Using the loss percentage formula, ((Cost Price - Selling Price) / Cost Price) * 100, we calculate ((2 - 0.50) / 2) * 100, which equals 75%. The result is 75% loss.
