Solution

Total S.P. = Rs.10000 and Total C.P. = Rs. 10000.
S.P. of. 1st commodity = Rs. 5000.
Gain on it = 25%.. SO , C.P. of 1st commodity = $$\frac{(100)}{125}\times 5000 $$ = 4000
CP of 2nd commodity = 10000 - 4000 = 6000
SP of 2nd commodity = 5000
%loss = (6000 - 5000)/6000
= $$16\frac{2}{3}$$%
