Q:

The cost price of 40 Magazines is the same as the selling price of 'P' articles. If the profit is 25%, then the value of 'P' is:

A) 32 B) 40
C) 16 D) 30

C.P. of P articles = Rs. P. 

S.P. of P articles = Rs. 40.

 

Profit = Rs. (40 - P)

 

Now, Gain% = ProfitC.P×100 = 40-PP×100 

 

Here 40-PP×100= 25

A) 15 B) 16
C) 18 D) 25
