LET CP OF 1 PEN=RE 1
CP OF 20 PENS=RS 20.
SP OF 2O PENS=CP OF 13 ARTICLES.
LET CP OF 1 ARTICLE RE 1.
CP OF 13 ARTICLES RS 13 ie EQUAL TO SP OF 20 PENS.
SO LOSS=(20-13)= RS 7.
LOSS%=7/20*100

Ans=35% loss
let CP of 13 article be x
then,SP of 20 article will be Rs x
so,SP of 1 article will be rs X/20
and SP of 13 ariticle will be 13x/20
loss= Cp-SP = x-(13x/20) =7x/20
loss%= (loss/CP)*100 = 35%

first of all i want you to tell the formulas of profit or loss. by knowing this formula you can do any kind of profit or loss sums

c.p= cost of an article
s.p = which an article is sold
profit= if s.p > c.p then the seller is said to have profit (or) gain
loss= if s.p < c.p the the seller is said to have loss
profit (or) gain = (s.p) - (c.p)
loss= (c.p)-(s.p)
Gain% (or) profit%=(gain*100/c.p)
loss%= (loss *100/c.p)
so,
given,
cost of 13 articles= cost of pens
let cost of 1 pen=1
c.p=20; cost of 13 articles is 20
s.p=13; 13 are sold out by seller
loss=(s.p)-(s.P)
= 20-13
= 7
loss%= (loss*100/c.p)
= (7*100/20)
= 35%

CP of 13 article(n) = SP of 20 pen (m)

formula = n-m/m *100
13 - 20/20 * 100
-7/20 * 100 = -35% (loss of 35%)

35%loss
cp of 13 =sp of 20
sp/cp=13/20
13-20/20*100=35%

Shortest possible solution:-
Here S.P=0.6 (C.P)
SP=(1-0.35)CP
From above eq it is quiet clear that there is loss of 35%
