Correct Answer: 25%
Solution : Given: By selling 50 items, a shopkeeper gains the selling price (SP) of 10 items. Let the selling price of one item be Rs. $x$. The total selling price = Rs. $50x$ Profit = Rs. $10x$ The total cost price $=50x-10x=40x$ The gain percentage $=\frac{\text{Profit}}{\text{Cost price}}×100=\frac{10x}{40x}\times100=25$% Hence, the correct answer is 25%.
