Hey Mate !
Here is your solution :
Let the cost price of 10 articles is x.
A/Q,
Cost price of 10 articles = Selling price of 8 = x.
As, cost price of 10 articles is x.
So, cost price of 1 article = x/10
Now,
As, selling price of 8 articles is x.
So, selling price of 1 article = x/8.
Now , we have ,
Cost price of 1 article = x/10
Selling price of 1 article = x/8.
Profit = Selling price - Cost price
= ( x/8 ) - ( x/10 )
= ( 5x - 4x ) / 40
= x/40.
Profit % = ( Profit × 100 ) / Cost price
= { ( x/40 ) × 100 } / ( x/10 )
= ( x × 100 / 40 ) × ( 10/x )
= ( 5x / 2 ) × ( 10/x )
= 25%
Ans : 25% gain or Profit.

Hope it helps !! ^_^
