Answer:

$\huge{\boxed{\rm{\red{Option=C}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

A person buys an article at 25% discount and sells it at 5% above the marked price.

To find:-

What percent gain does he make?

Solution:-

Let the marked price of an article be Rs. X

gained discount on it=25%

Discount=25% of Marked Price

=>D=(25/100)×X

=>D=X/4

Discount=Rs. X/4

now the Selling price to the person =X-X/4

=>(4X-X)/4

=>3X/4

Now it becomes the Cost price =Rs.3X/4

Selling price of it=5% above Markprice

=>SP=X+5/100(X)

=>SP=Rs. X+(X/20)

=>SP=Rs. 21X/20

now we have ,CP=3X/4 and SP=21X/20

Here SP>CP

Gain=SP-CP

=>Gain=(21X/20)-(3X/4)

=>Gain=(21X-15X)/20

=>Gain=6X/20

=>Gain=3X/10

Now gain percentage=(Gain/CP)×100

=>G%=[(3X/10)×100]/(3X/4)

=>G%=30X/(3X/4)

=>G%=(30X×4)/3X

=>G%=10×4

=>G%=40

Answer:-

The person Gained percentage =40%
