The cost price of 20 articles is the same as the selling price of x articles. If the profit is 25%, then the value of x is:
A. 15
B. 16
C. 18
D. 25
Answer: Option B
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Let C.P. of each article be Re. 1 C.P. of x articles = Rs. xS.P. of x articles = Rs. 20
Profit = Rs. (20 - x)
$$\eqalign{ & \therefore {\frac{{20 - x}}{x} \times 100 = 25} \cr & \Rightarrow 2000 - 100x = 25x \cr & 125x = 2000 \cr & \Rightarrow x = 16 \cr} $$

cost price of 20 articles = sale price of X
profit on sale of X = 25%
assume cost price of 1 article is = 100
cost price of 20 articles = 20*100 = 2000
cost price of 20 article = sale price of X
sale price of X = 2000
Sale price of 1 article with % = 100+25%=125
value of X = cost price of 20 articles / sale price of 1 article with %
value of X = 2000/125 = 16
20cp = spx
1cp = spx/20
sp= cp + profit% of cp
sp= spx/20 + spx/80
sp= 5spx/80
80sp = 5spx
x=16
B
Atq ,20cp=xsp
CP/sp= X/20
P%=25 i.e 1/4 sp=5u &CP = 4u
Therefore 5u=20
1u=4
4u=16 therefore X=16

If the cost price of 20 apples is the same as the selling price of 25 apples. Find the profit or loss percent.
125%=20
100%=? =16

SP of one apple= rs 100+25=rs 125(25% profit)
SP of x apples=125x

X-20= X of 25/100
=16
