Question

Ram sells his goods 25% cheaper than Shyam 25% dearer than Bram. How much percentage Bram's goods cheaper than Shyam's?

• A. 33.33%
• B. 50%
• C. 66.66%
• D. 40%

Answer 1

The correct option is D 40%

Let Shyam sells good at Rs. 100

So Ram sells good at Rs. 75

Now this Rs. 75 is 25 % dearer than Bram i.e.

$Bram\times \frac{125}{100}=75$

Bram's price = 60

Bram's good is Rs. 40 cheaper than Shyam in % term

$\frac{40}{100}\times 100i.e.40\%$
