A Correct answer
Explanation

SP = CP * (1 + 0.25). 4000 = 1.25 * CP. CP = 4000 / 1.25 = 3200.

AI explanation

Using the cost price formula, CP equals SP multiplied by 100 divided by (100 plus the profit percentage). Substituting the values gives 4000 times 100 divided by 125. Solving this yields a cost price of Rs 3200.
