    An article was sold after offering 20% discount on its

    marked price such that the seller incurred a 25% loss. Find the ratio of cost price to the marked price for the seller. 
    A 4:5 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 16:15 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 3:4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 5:6 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the marked price of the article be Rs. ‘100x’ Then, selling price of the article = 0.80 × (100x)
    = Rs. 80x Cost price of the article = 80x × (100/75) = Rs. (320x/3) Required ratio = (320x/3) : 100x = 320x : 300x = 16 : 15
