- Shivani purchased five pens for Rs600, so the cost price (CP) per pen is Rs120.

- She sells each pen at Rs50, so the selling price (SP) for five pens is 5 x 50 = Rs250.

- To find the loss, subtract the selling price from the cost price: Rs600 - Rs250 = Rs350.

- The loss percentage is calculated by (Loss/CP) x 100, so: (350/600) x 100 = 58.33%.

- Option 2: 58.33 is, therefore, the correct answer.
