Q:

A man purchases two articles, on selling one at loss of 20% while the other at a profit of 25%, he gains the overall profit of 5% than find the ratio of their selling price ?

A) 8 : 62.5
B) 55 : 8
C) 8 : 65
D) 64.4 : 9

Answer:   A) 8 : 62.5 

Explanation:

                      Article I                   Article II
                         -20                         25%
                                        5%
                         20%                       25%
                     
                          4              :              5

Now, Selling of first article = (4-20%) = 0.8

Selling of second article = (5+25%) =  6.25

Therefore the ratio of selling price = 8 : 62.5
