    Description for Correct answer
    According to Question.

    CP of 2 dozen bababas(24 bananas) is = Rs. 32

    SP of 1 dozen bananas (12 bananas) is = Rs. 12

    SP of 18 bananas is Rs. 18.

    ∴∴Now shopkeeper reduced to the rate Rs. 4/dozen

    Now SP of 1 dozen bananas is Rs. 4

    SP of 6 bananas is Rs. 2

    ∴∴ SP of total 24 banans is Rs. 18 + 2 = 20

    Loss = CP - SP

    = 32 - 20 = Rs. 12

    Loss% =12 / 32 100 = 37.5%
