• cp of 4 oranges= Rs. 1
  sp of 5 oranges = Rs, 1
  SP of 1 orange = 1/5 = 0.2 rupee
  SP of 4 oranges = 4 * 0.2 = 0.8 rupee
  % loss = [(CP - SP)/CP]*100
  = [(1-0.8)/0.8]*100
  = [0.2/0.8]*100
  = [1/4]*/100
  =25%

• 1 rupee = 4 oranges = 25 paisa each
  Then for 5 oranges - 20 paisa each
  
  So loss 25-20 = 5 paisa per orange
  
  5/25 * 100 = 20℅
