Answer 1

Answer:

Hello friend

your answer is

let c.p of 1 article. = x

c.p of 25 article =. 25x

and s.p of 35 article = 25x

then,s.p of 1 article = 25/35*x

= 5/7x

here s.p<c.p

loss% = {c.p-s.p/c.p}*100

= {x-5/7x}*100/x

=6.21%

then its is a loss

thank you

Answer 2

$\huge\bold\red{Solution:-}$

Let the Cost Price of 1 article be ₹1.

$\therefore$Cost Price of 25 articles = ₹25

The Selling Price of 35 articles = Cost of 25 Articles = ₹25

Now, Finding The Cost Price of 35 articles:-

We have,

Assumed that Cost Price of 1 article = ₹1

$\therefore$Cost Price of 35 articles = ₹35

The Profit/loss made on 35 articles = Selling Price of 35 articles - Cost Price of 35 articles = ₹ 35 - ₹ 25 = ₹10.

Hence, It is Loss.

Loss Percent = $\dfrac{10}{35}\times100$

= 28.57%
