Answer 2

Answer:

cost price​ of article is Rs 1600

Step-by-step explanation:

Selling price is 2000

Profit is 25% on cost

Let, Cost be x

As we are getting profit than means Sp is greater than Cp

   ⇒Cp + profit = Sp

       x + 25% on x = 2000

       x + 25x / 100 = 2000

       100x + 25x = 2000*100

        125x = 200000

           x = 1600

Trick :

Profit of 1/4 on cost = profit of 1/5 on sale    ( 1/4 = 25% ) (1/5 = 20%)

 Let profit be x

x/4 of cost = x/5 on sale

x/5 (2000) = 400

Profit is 400

Cp = Sp - profit

       2000 - 400 = 1600
