Let the cost price of the jean pant be 'x'.

Given, selling price = ₹ 1750

Loss = ₹ 258

We know,

Selling price = Cost price - Loss

1750 = x - 258

x = 1750 + 258

x = 2008

Therefore, the cost price of the jean pant is ₹ 2008.

Loss percentage = (Loss / Cost price) x 100

= (258 / 2008) x 100

= 12.85%

Hence, the cost price of the jean pant is ₹ 2008 and the loss percentage is 12.85%.
