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%.
