Solution (By Examveda Team)
He gets 25% profit on the selling price.$$\eqalign{ & Let\,SP = x;\,then \cr & CP = x - {\frac{x}{4}} \cr & = Rs.\,\frac{{3x}}{4} \cr & Hence, \cr & \% \,gain = {\frac{{ {\frac{x}{4}} }}{{ {\frac{{3x}}{4}} }}} \times 100 \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{100}}{3} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 33\frac{1}{3} \cr} $$

@ishasharpa ji why are you thinking about 3x/4
Just think
Sp=100
Cp=75
We take 100sp because question said 25% on sp
But overall profit will be (which we do on cp)
25/75×100
1/3×100
33⅓
Thanks me later🤩🤩🤩
CP : SP = 3 : 4
Profit% = (1*100)/3 = 33.33%
