125
Step-by-step explanation:
As he incurs a loss of 5 rupees and he sold 45 pens so he gained 45 rupees profits so it means total loss is equal to 50 and 50 loss - 45 profit = 5 loss so 50*100 paise gives 5000 and when divided by 40 per each pencil we get 125 so the number of pencils sold is equal to 125
