Answer 1

HEYA MATE,

HERE IS UR ANSWER.

Thanks for asking this question.

Here CP of 100 erasers = Rs. 250/-  
Let SP of 100 erasers = Rs. 4X
then SPof 25 erasers = Rs4X * 25/ 100 = X
Given Loss = SPof 25 erasers = X 
or CP - SP =X
or 100 - 4X = X 
or 5X= 100
or X= 20 
Therefore SP = 4X = 20 * 4 = Rs. 80/- 
Loss = X = Rs. 20/-
Loss%ge= Loss/ CP * 100% = 20/ 100 * 100% = 20% 
In the given case loss percent is 20%

I HOPE IT HELPS U.
