  A/Q
  as given profit is equal to selling price of 5 books i.e 5SP
  so
  putting value
  5 SP=25 SP-25 CP;
  5 SP=25 Sp- 2000;
  sp=100;
  we can also verfiy as follow :
  original cp=2000
  profit=5sp==5*100= 500
  sp=25*100=2500;
  hence verified

• sp of 25=cp+sp of 5
  sp 0f 25- sp of 5=2000
  sp 0f 1=2000/20=100

• 25 books= 2000 then
  1 book =80/-
  profit = price of 5 books=80*5=400
  so.. he sold 25 books for a profit of 400---> original price (2000)+profit(400)= 2400
  i..e, 25 books =2400
  1 book = 2400/25==> 96/-
  sp of 1 book = 96-
