Total S.P =8000 Rs. and Total C.P = 8000 Rs.
S.P. of Ist commodity = Rs.4000. Gain on it = 25%
C.P. of Ist commodity = Rs.((100/125)*4000) = Rs.3200
C.P. of 2nd commodity = Rs.(8000-3200)=Rs.4800
S.P. of 2nd commodity = 4000.
∴loss on 2nd commodity =(800/4800)*100)= ((8/48)*100)=0.1666666666666667*100=16.67%
