      A 10% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 12.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 16.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 5.5% Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Selling price of 1 kg of mangoes = ₹120
      Cost price of 1 kg of mangoes = ₹'5N - 4'
      Profit percentage = 25%
      125% of (5N - 4) = 120
      5N - 4 = 96
      N = 20
      Cost price of 1 kg of mangoes = ₹96
      New selling price of 1 kg of mangoes = 4(N + 1) = 4*(20 + 1) = ₹84
      Loss percentage = [(96 - 84)/96]*100 = 12.5%
