View Answer

Correct choice: B

Explanation:

Lets say shyam sells at 100, Since Ram sells 25% cheaper than Shyam, Therefor Ram sells at less than 25% of100 or 75 rs. Ram sells 25% dearer than Bram or 125% of Ram =100% of Bram or 125% of x (say x price of bram )=75rs. or 100% of x =60rs. hence price of bram is 60rs. now Bram's good is cheaper than Shyam's as (100-60)x100/100% or 40%. Hence Brams Good is 40% cheaper than that of Shyam's good.
