✅ Correct Answer: (B)
40%
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.
