By selling 25 articles, a person gets the profit equal to selling price of 5 articles. Find profit percent.

Options:

20%

25%

37.5%

50%

Correct Answer:

25%

Explanation:

Profit = S.P. - C.P.

ATQ,

⇒ S.P. of 5 = S.P. of 25 - C.P. of 25

⇒ C.P. of 25 = S.P. of 20

⇒ C.P. of 5 = S.P. of 4

⇒ C.P. : S.P. = 4 : 5

Profit = 1R

Profit percent = \(\frac{1}{4}\) × 100 = 25%
