• A. $25\%$
• B. $30\%$
• C. $35\%$
• D. $40\%$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$25\%$

Marked price $=$ Rs. $25000$
Price of the article after $1^{st}$ discount $=\frac{80}{100}\times 25000=$ Rs. $20000$
Price of the article after $2^{nd}$ discount $=\frac{95}{100}\times 20000=$ Rs. $19000$
$\Rightarrow$ Net C.P. of the articles $=$ Rs. $19000+$ Rs. $1000=$ Rs. $20000$
S.P. $=$ Rs. $25000$
$\therefore$ Gain $\%=\frac{(25000-20000)}{20000}\times 100=\frac{5000}{20000}\times 100=25\%$
