Sale according to 5% loss = 1900*25 = 47500

original production cost = 47500/1.25 = 38000

Sale according to 50% loss = 10000* 25 = 25000

so loss = 38000-25000 = 13000

5% of 2000 pieces= 100 pieces; thus, 1900 pieces sold

cost : 1900*25= rs. 47500

original production cost : 25% of x= 47500
x= 47500/1.25= 38000 rs

Sale according to 50% loss:
50% of 2000= 50/100*2000=1000

sale= 1000*25 = rs.25000

So, loss = 38000-25000 = 13000

sold 2000 pieces at 25/piece... so estimated SP=50000
IF 5% fail therefore 1900 units are sold.. so SP of 1900 units= 25*1900=Rs 47500
And he makes a 25% profit so CP of 1900 units = (100/125)*47500 = Rs 38000
CP of 2000units (unitary method)= Rs 40000
50% rejected , so he gets (1000 * 25=25000) Rs 25000 instead of Rs 50000
So Loss= CP-SP= 40000-25000= Rs 15000 (ANS D)
