Answer:6250
Step-by-step explanation:Let the C.P. of article B be Rs.x.
C.P. of article A = Rs.(8000 - x)
According to the question,
(8000−x)×120/100=x×88/100
= 8000
=> 960000 - 120x + 88x
= 800000
=> 960000 - 32x = 800000
=> 32x = 960000 - 800000
=> 32x = 160000
=> x = 160000/32 = Rs.5000
Therefore, For a profit of 25%
S.P. of article B
=5000×125/100 = Rs.6250
