B computes his profit as a percentage of selling price.
So His profit = 25% of 1000 = 250 Tk
A computes his profit as a percentage of cost price. Therefore, when he makes a profit of 25% or th of his cost price, then his profit expressed as a percentage of selling price = th or 20% of selling price. Hence, B makes (250 - 200) Tk = 50 Tk more than A.
