Dear Student,

Please find below the solution to the asked query:

Given : Manoj buys 14 kg of sweets for Rs 1750  , So

Cost price of total sweet  =  Rs .1750
And

Out of this 14 kg ,  4 kg of sweets got spoilt and so Manoj sold the remaining sweets for Rs 150 per kg , So

Selling price of total sweet = ( 14 - 4 ) 150 =  ( 10 ) 150 = 1500

Therefore,

Loss percentage = $\frac{1750 - 1500}{1750}\times 100 = \frac{250}{1750}\times 100 = \frac{1}{7}\times 100 = \mathbf{14}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{28}\mathbf{\%}\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{ }\mathbf{(}\mathbf{ }\mathbf{Ans}\mathbf{ }\mathbf{)}$
