A Correct answer
Explanation

Let CP of 1 article be 1. CP of 5 articles = 5. SP of 4 articles = 5. SP of 1 article = 5/4 = 1.25. Profit = 1.25 - 1 = 0.25, which is 25%.

AI explanation

Let the cost price of one article be Rs. 1. The cost price of 5 articles is Rs. 5, which equals the selling price of 4 articles, making the selling price of one article Rs. 1.25. Using the profit percentage formula, the profit is ((1.25 - 1) / 1) multiplied by 100, resulting in 25%.
