the first article got 25% gain so the original price of the first article=4000*100/125=3200
so he got 800 rs profit.
so in the second article, he will get 800 loss (in the case of no profit and no gain)
then the cast price of second article =4800.
loss %=
4800*x/100=4000.
x=83.33%
so loss %=16.66

Each item is 4000 so total is 8000
If 1st item is sold at profit 25% then
125/100*(4000)=5000
So second item should be sold for 3000
Then (100-x)/100*(4000)=3000
X=25%

C.P. of two articles = Rs. 8000
S.P. of one articles = Rs. 4000
Gain = 25%
∴ C.P. of this article = Rs (100/125) x 4000 = Rs.3200
C.P. of another article = Rs. (8000 - 3200) = Rs. 4800
S.P. of this article = Rs. 4000
∴ Loss% = (800/4800) x 100 % = 16.66%

in the 1st case its says no profit no loss on 2 article .
i.e cp = sp = 4000 (given for each)
total sp =4000 + 4000
cp = sp = 8000.
if one item solad at 25 % profit, then
sp = cp[1+%gain/100].
sp=5000.
now if one item sold at 5000 then another have must sold at 3000 bcz total cp = 8000.
now if 2nd item sold at sp = 3000.
then %loss = (cp - sp)/cp * 100.
%loss = (4000 - 3000)/4000 *100.
%loss = 25 %.(ans)

C.P of two items = Rs. 8000
S.P of one item = RS. 4000
Profit = 25%
So C.P of the item with gain 25% is : 25 = [(4000-C.P)/C.P]*100, upon solving we get C.P as Rs.3200
Now C.P of the second item = Rs. 8000 - Rs. 3200 = Rs. 4800
S.P of this item is Rs. 4000,
so loss % = [(4800-4000)/4800]*100
loss % = 16.6

first article sp=4000, gain 25%
cp: sp
4:5
x:4000
so, x=3200
no loss no gain so loss=800
second article sp=4000
loss=cp-sp
800=cp-4000
so cp=4800
loss%=loss*100/cp
%=800*100/4800
so %=100/6=16.66%

s.p=4000
cp=x
p=25%
x=3200
(sp=cp(100+p)/100)
for second item
sp=4000
cp=8000-x=4800
l=4800-cp=800
l%=l/cp*100
l%=800/4800*100
ans=l%=16.66
