Ram sell his goods 25% cheaper than Shyam and 25% dearer than Bram. How much % is Bram's good cheaper than Shyam ?

Correct Answer: 40%

Explanation:

Lets say shyam sells at 100,


 


Since Ram sells 25% cheaper than Shyam,


 


Therefor Ram sells at less than 25% of100 or 75 rs.


 


Ram sells 25% dearer than Bram or 125% of Ram =100% of Bram or


 


125% of x (say x price of bram )=75rs.
or 100% of x =60rs.
hence price of bram is 60rs.


 


now Bram's good is cheaper than Shyam's as (100-60)x100/100% or 40%.


 


Hence Brams Good is 40% cheaper than that of Shyam's good.
