Correct Answer: 20%
Solution : Given: A man sold 150 chairs and had a gain equal to the selling price of 25 chairs. Let the selling price of a chair be $x$. Then the total selling price (SP) = 150$x$ Total gain = 25$x$ So, the total cost price (CP) = (150$x$ – 25$x$) = 125$x$ Therefore, profit percentage = $\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{CP}}×100$ = $\frac{25x}{125x}×100$ = 20% Hence, the correct answer is 20%.
