Given:
Selling Price (SP) = Rs. 52,500
Loss Percentage = 25%
Formula Used:
SP = CP − Loss
Solution:
The loss is 25% of the cost price. Therefore:
Loss = 25% of CP = 0.25 × CP
Substitute the value of loss (0.25 × CP) into the equation:
SP = CP − 0.25 × CP
SP = 0.75 × CP
We know the selling price (SP) is Rs. 52,500, so we can set up the equation:
52,500 = 0.75 × CP
CP = 70,000
Now
Loss = CP − SP
Loss = 70,000 − 52,500
Loss = 17,500
Thus Ram’s loss is Rs. 17,500.

On a particular day each of Danish, Ethan and Farhan sold three types of pens from their respective shops. Danish and Ethan sold an identical number of pens of Type A while Farhan sold twice as many pens of Type A as Danish and Ethan together sold. The ratio of the numbers of pens of Type B sold by Danish, Ethan and Farhan was 3 : 4 :1 respectively, and Ethan and Farhan sold an identical number of pens of Type C each, while Danish sold thrice as many pens of Type C as each of Ethan and Farhan sold. The three sellers sold each of the types of pens at different prices per unit.
Assertion (A): It is possible that Danish sold each pen of Type A at a loss of Rs 2, each pen of Type B at a profit of Rs 4, and each pen of Type C at a loss of Rs 5 and made an overall profit of Rs 144; Ethan sold each pen of Type A at a profit of Rs 5, each pen of Type B at a loss of Re 1, and each pen of Type C at a profit of Rs 7 and made an overall profit of Rs 13; and Farhan sold each pen of Type A at a profit of Re 3, each pen of Type B at a profit of Re 4, and each pen of Type C at a loss of Rs 6 and made an overall profit of Rs 240.
Reason (R): Framing and solving the three possible linear equations we will find that we get a unique solution.
