Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : 16

Given:

The cost price of 20 bananas is the same as the selling price of x bananas

Profit = 25% 

Formula:

Profit % = (Profit/CP) × 100

Calculation:

Let Cost Price of each banana be Rs. 1

Cost Price of x bananas = Rs. x

Selling Price of x bananas = Rs. 20

Profit = Rs. (20 - x)

⇒[(20−x)/x] ​× 100 = 25

⇒2000 − 100x = 25x

⇒ 125x = 2000

⇒ x = 16

∴ The value of x is 16
