What profit/loss percent did Ravi earn if he purchased an item of Rs. 5,600 and sold it at three-fourth of its cost price?
Answer: (d)
Loss = 1/4 of the CP

= $1/4 × 100$ = 25 %
The cost price of 20 articles is the same as the selling price of x articles. If the profit is 25%, then the value of x is
Answer: (c)
CP of 20 articles = SP of x articles = 1 (say)
Therefore, CP of 1 article = $1/20$,
And SP of 1 article = $1/x$
Now, gain% = ${1/x - 1/20}/{1/20} = 25/100$
$({20 - x}/{20x}) × 20 = 25/100$
⇒ 80 – 4x = x ⇒ 5x = 80 ⇒ x = 16

= ${10 + 8}/{100 - 10} × 100$
= $18/90 × 100$ = 20%
