on selling each of the two radios for rs 5000, a person neither gained nor lost.
Each was sold for 2500 rs
=============================

if he had sold one radio at 25% gain
1.25*2500 = 3125 rs
-----
then at what loss percent did he sell the other radio?
The other radio sold for 5000-3125 = 1775 rs
----
Quantitiy loss: 2500-1775 = 725 rs
Percent loss: 725/2500 = 29%
=================
