Solution
Let the cost price be Rs.100
So, the profit will be Rs.`(25/100 xx 100)`
= Rs.25
⇒ S.P. = C.P. + Profit
= Rs.(100 + 25)
= Rs.125
When the profit is Rs.(100 + 25)
= Rs.125
When the profit is Rs.25, the sale is Rs.125
So, let x be the profit when the sale is Rs.5000
⇒ x = `(25 xx 5000)/(125)`
= Rs.1000
Hence, the profit is Rs.1000.
