D Correct answer
Explanation

Total cost price = 10500 + 500 = 11000. Selling price = 9845. Loss = 11000 - 9845 = 1155. Loss percent = (1155 / 11000) * 100 = 10.5%.

AI explanation

Heena's effective cost price becomes the purchase price plus the repair cost, which is 10500 plus 500, equaling Rs. 11000. She sold the air fryer for Rs. 9845, so her loss is 11000 minus 9845, equaling Rs. 1155. Using the loss percentage formula of loss divided by cost price times 100, the calculation is 1155 divided by 11000 times 100, which equals 10.5%.
