Answer 2

Answer:

12.5 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

on selling 1 pen he gains = Rs. 1

So on selling 45 pens he gains = Rs. 45

now as overall he lose Rs. 5, so he would have lost Rs. 50 by selling pencils.

on 1 pencil he losses = 40 paise

So he lose 1 paise on selling 1/40 pencil

so he lose Rs.50/500 paise on selling 1/40 × 500

= 12.5
