    গ)

    Explanation

    Cost price of a each marble at 20 per Tk. = Tk. 1/20 Cost price of a each marble at 30 per Tk. = Tk. 1/30 ∴ Average cost of marble = {(1/20) + (1/30)}/2 = (3 + 2)/(2 × 60) = 5/120 = 1/24 Selling price of mixed marble = Tk. 1/25 ∴ Loss = (1/24) - (1/25) = 1/600 Cost price 1/24 then loss Tk. 1/600 Cost price 1 then loss Tk. (1/600)/(1/24) ∴ Cost price 1 then loss Tk. {(1/600)/(1/24)} × 100 = 4% ∴ There is loss of 4%
