    D 16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 17 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the Cost Price of each article = Rs. x
    CP of x articles = Rs. x
    SP of x articles = Rs. 20
    Profit = Rs. (20 - x)
    Therefore,
    => [(20-x)/x]× 100 = 25
    => 2000 - 100x = 25x
    => 125x = 2000
    => x = 16
