Correct Answer:

25%


Solution : Here, SP is the selling price and CP is the cost price.
We know that,
Gain = SP – CP
SP of 250 chairs – CP of 250 chairs = SP of 50 chairs
⇒ SP of 200 chairs = CP of 250 chairs
Gain = 250 – 200 = 50
$\therefore$ Profit percentage $=\frac{\text{Gain}}{\text{Cost price}}×100= \frac{50}{200}×100= 25\%$
Hence, the correct answer is 25%.
