Answer» Let the CP of article be Rs X Loss% = 25% SP of article = Rs 100 Therefore, Loss = x – 100 25 = ((x – 100)/x × 100% ⇒ x – 100 = x/4 ⇒ x = 400/3 Now, CP of article = Rs 400/3 Now, the selling PRICE is Rs. 200 therefore, profit is obtained and let profit% be y $(y\% \; = \;\frac{{\left( {200\;-\frac{{400}}{3}} \right)}}{{\frac{{400}}{3}}} \TIMES 100\%= 50)$ |
