Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct Answer:

A) 5:3

Description for Correct answer:

Let MP of an article = Rs.x  

Therefore, SP of an article = Rs.34x  

and CP of an article = 3x4×100100+25

= 3x4×100125=Rs.3x5

Required ratio = x:3x5 = 5 : 3

Answer 2

Solution :-

Let of M.P. be Rs. x.

We know,

S.P. = Rs. $\dfrac{3x}{4}$

C.P. = $\dfrac{3x}{4} \times \dfrac{100}{125}$

C.P. = Rs. $\dfrac{3x}{5}$

We know,

Required ratio = $</strong><strong>x</strong><strong> </strong><strong>:</strong><strong> </strong><strong>\dfrac{3x}{5}$

$\Rightarrow 5 : 3$
