Hey buddy ❣❤✌

☆Answer☆

C. P of the Article = Rs x

S.P of the Article = Rs . 16

Loss = Rs . (x -16)

We Know :-

$loss \: \% = \frac{loss}{c.p} \times 100$

Therefore ,

$= > x = \frac{x - 16}{x} \times 100$

$= > x {}^{2} - 100x + 1600 = 0 \\ = > (x - 80)(x - 20) = 0 \\ x = 80 \: or \: 20$

Thus , The cost Price of the article is Rs . 20 or Rs. 80 .
