After offering a discount of 37.5%, pankaj sold a rice at a profit of 25%. Had he offered a discount of 41.67% his profit or loss percent would have seen :

ans - 16.66 % profit

• case (i)sp=100
  discount given is 37.5
  so sp becomes 62.5 now he gains 25% profit
  ==>cp=50
  case (ii)again assume sp=100
  discount is 41.67
  so sp becomes 58.33 so by earlier case we came to know that cp=50
  ==>profit %=(8.33/50)*100=16.66%

• 1--s.p is 62.5% profit is 25% so c.p is 50%
  2--s.p is 41.67% profit is ? C.p is 50%
  Profit= (s.p-c.p)/c.p*100
  16.66%
