Correct Answer: Ans.100 TK
Explanation:
Let, the original Price = Tk. 100
At I2.5% loss the selling price = 1k. (100 — 12.5)=TK.87.5
At 25% profit, selling price would be = Tk. (IOO + 25) = Tk. I25
Difference of selling price == Tk. (125 — 87.5) = Tk. 37.5
When Tk. 37.5 difference then cost = Tk.$\frac{100}{37.5}$
When Tk. 1 difference then cost = Tk.$\frac{100X37.5}{37.5}$=TK.100
