Answer
Statement 1 is false, and statement 2 is true.
Reason
Given,
C.P. = ₹x
S.P. = ₹24
Loss% = x%
Using the formula, Loss = C.P. - S.P.
⇒ S.P. = C.P. - Loss
⇒ S.P. = C.P. - Loss% of C.P.
Substituting the values, we get
⇒ 24 = x - x% of x
So, statement 2 is true.
Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
