Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is A)

Let C.P. of 1 article is Rs. x.

⇒ C.P of 5 articles = Rs. 5x

Given, C.P of 5 articles = S.P. of 4 articles 

⇒ S.P of 4 articles = Rs. 5x

⇒ S. P of 1 articles = Rs. 45x

Profit = 45x−x= Rs. 4x

Profit %= ⎝⎛x4x×100⎠⎞%=25%

Solutions :-

Given :

The selling price of 5 articles is equal to the cost 4 articles.

Find the LCM of 5 and 4 :-

LCM of 5 and 4 = 20

Therefore,

Selling price of 5 articles = Rs 20

Selling price of 1 article = 20/5 = Rs 4

Cost Price of 4 articles = Rs 20

Cost Price of 1 article = 20/4 = Rs 5

Cost Price is greater than the selling price. Therefore, Loss.

Loss = C.P - S.P

= Rs (5 - 4)

= Rs 1

Loss % = (loss × 100)/C.P %

= (1 × 100)/5 %

= 100/5 %

= 20%

Hence,

Loss Percent = 20%
