Q:

By selling an article at Rs.800, a shopkeeper makes a profit of 25%.At what price should he sell the article so as to make a loss of 25%?

A) Rs.720 B) Rs.640
C) Rs.540 D) Rs.480
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs.480

Explanation:

SP = Rs.800 ; Profit = 25%

 CP = SP x 100100+P% = 800 x 100100+25 = 640

 

 Now, CP = Rs.640

 

Loss = 25% = 25% of Rs.640 = Rs.160

 

Thus, SP = CP - Loss = Rs.640 - Rs.160 = Rs.480
