Correct answer: (D) 25%
If CP1*1.5=2973, CP1=1982; since total SP (5946) equals total CP for no overall profit/loss, CP2=5946-1982=3964. The loss on the second article = (3964-2973)/3964*100 = 25%.

सही उत्तर: (D) 25%
यदि CP1*1.5=2973 है, तो CP1=1982; क्योंकि कोई समग्र लाभ/हानि न होने पर कुल SP (5946) कुल CP के बराबर होता है, CP2=5946-1982=3964। दूसरे लेख पर हानि = (3964-2973)/3964*100 = 25% है।
