    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    Let C.P. of each article be Re. 1 C.P. of x articles = Rs. x.

     

    S.P. of x articles = Rs. 20.

     

    Profit = Rs. (20 - x).

     

    [ \(\frac { 20-X } { X } \)]   x 100 = 25  
     

     

       2000 - 100x = 25x

                   

           125x = 2000

     

          x = 16.
