  1. The cost price of 25 books is equal to the selling price of 20 books. The profit per cent is
    1. 20%
    2. 22%
    3. 24%
    4. 25%
Correct Option: D

Let the cost price of each book be Re. 1.
∴ C.P. of 20 books = Rs. 20
S.P. of 20 books = Rs. 25
Profit = S.P. - C.P. = 25 - 20 = Rs. 5

∴ Profit percent = Profit × 100
C.P. of 20 books

Profit percent =
5 × 100
= 25%
20
