Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 1 : 108.33%

Given:

The cost price of 25 articles is equal to the selling price of 12 articles

Formula used/Concept Used:

Profit percentage = (Profit/cost price) × 100

Calculation:

Let the cost price of one article is Rs. 1

∴ Cost price of 25 articles = Rs. 25

Now, the cost price of 25 articles is equal to the selling price of 12 articles

∴ Selling price of 12 articles = Rs. 25

So, the cost price of 12 articles is Rs. 12 and selling price of 12 articles is Rs. 25

∴ Profit percentage = (13/12) × 100 = 108.33%

∴ There is a gain of 108.33%
