Question

A man purchases two articles, on selling one at loss of 20% while the other at a profit of 25%, he gains the overall profit of 5% than find the ratio of their selling price ?

Answer 1

Article I Article II
-20 25%
5%
20% 25%

4 : 5

Now, Selling of first article = (4-20%) = 0.8

Selling of second article = (5+25%) = 6.25

Therefore the ratio of selling price = 8 : 62.5
