Let cost price of 1 kg of apricots = $$Rs. x$$ If Selling price of 1 kg of apricots = Rs. 1210 => Loss % = $$frac{x - 1210}{x} imes 100 = 12$$ => $$frac{x - 1210}{x} = frac{12}{100} = frac{3}{25}$$ => $$25x - 30250 = 3x$$ => $$25x - 3x = 22x = 30250$$ => $$x = frac{30250}{22} = 1375$$ When selling price = Rs. 1331 => Loss % = $$frac{1375 - 1331}{1375} imes 100$$ = $$frac{44 imes 4}{55} = 3.2\%$$ => Ans - (D)
