125 pencils

The amount of profit earned in selling 1 pen is Re. 1
The amount of profit earned in selling 45pen is Re. 1 x 45 = 45
Hence, the profit earned is Rs. 45
The net loss he suffered in selling pencil is Rs. 5.
The loss in transaction is loss=-Rs.5 – Rs.45=-Rs.50=-5000 paise
Loss incurred in selling 1 pencil = - 40 paise
The number of pencil sold by the shopkeeper is 5000/40 = 125 pencils
Hence, the number of pencil sold by the shopkeeper is 125 pencils.
