An article is sold for Rs. 5000 at a loss of 25 percent. What is the cost price of the article?

Correct option is A

Given:
Selling Price (SP) = Rs. 5000
Loss Percentage = 25%
Cost Price (CP) = ?
Formula Used:
​$$\text{Selling Price} = \text{Cost Price (CP)} \left(1 - \frac{\text{Loss Percentage}}{100}\right)$$​​
Solution:
CP = $$\frac{5000}{1 - \frac{25}{100}}$$​​
​$$CP = \frac{5000}{1 - 0.25}\\CP = \frac{5000}{0.75}$$​​
CP = Rs. 6666.67
Thus, the cost price of the article is Rs. 6666.67.
