Correct Answer: 20%
Solution : Let the cost price be Rs. 100 Then, marked price = 25% of CP = Rs. 125 If the oil is to be sold at no profit and no loss, the selling price should be Rs. 100 $\text{Percentage decrease} = \frac{\text{Marked price – selling price}}{\text{Marked price}} \times 100$. $= \frac{125-100}{125} \times 100 = 20$% Hence, the correct answer is 20%.
