Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Remaining creates = 25 - 5 = 20So,
$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Cost Price}} \cr & = \frac{{10000}}{{20}} = 500/{\text{crates}} \cr & {\text{25}}\% = \frac{{1 \leftarrow {\text{Profit}}}}{{4 \leftarrow {\text{Cost price}}}} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{CP}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{SP}} \cr & \mathop { \downarrow \times 125}\limits_{500\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}^{4\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,} \mathop {\,\,\,\,\, \downarrow \times 125}\limits_{625\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}^{5\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,} \cr} $$
Sell each of the remaining crates = Rs. 625
