A) \[15\frac{2}{3}%\]
B) \[16\frac{2}{3}%\]
C) \[17\frac{1}{3}%\]
D) \[18\frac{1}{3}%\]
Correct Answer: B
Solution :
[b] \[\because \]SP of each article = Rs. 5000 \[\therefore \] CP of first article \[=\frac{5000\times 100}{100+25}\] = Rs. 4000 \[\Rightarrow \] Profit \[=5000-4000=\text{Rs}.\,\,1000\] \[\therefore \] Loss = Rs. 1000 \[\Rightarrow \] CP of second article \[=5000+1000=\text{Rs}.\text{ }6000\] Hence, loss percentage \[=\frac{1000}{6000}\times 100%=16\frac{2}{3}%\] |
