A. 25%
B. $$18\frac{2}{9}$$%
C. $$16\frac{2}{3}$$%
D. 20%
Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Total SP = Rs. 8000 and Total CP = Rs. 8000SP of 1st articles = Rs. 4000
Gain on it = 25%
∴ CP of 1st articles $$ = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,\left( {\frac{{100}}{{125}} \times 4000} \right) = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,3200$$
∴ CP of 2nd articles = Rs. (8000 - 3200) = Rs. 4800
SP of 2nd articles = Rs. 4000
∴ Loss on 2nd articles
$$\eqalign{ & = \left( {\frac{{800}}{{4800}} \times 100} \right)\% \cr & = 16\frac{2}{3}\% \cr} $$
