By selling an article at \( \Large \frac{3}{4} \)th of the marked price, there is a gain of 25%. The ratio of the marked price and the cost price is
Correct Answer: Description for Correct answer:
Let MP of an article = Rs.x
Therefore, SP of an article = Rs.\( \Large \frac{3}{4}x \)
and CP of an article = \( \Large \frac{3x}{4} \times \frac{100}{100+25} \)
= \( \Large \frac{3x}{4} \times \frac{100}{125}= Rs.\frac{3x}{5} \)
Required ratio = \( \Large x : \frac{3x}{5} \) = 5 : 3
