  1. Answer:

    3] 40

    Step-by-step explanation:

    articles purchased for 5000 each

    then the selling rate of one book = [5000 @ 20%]+5000 = 1000 + 5000 = 6000

    then 13000 – 6000 = 7000

    then 7000 – 5000 = the profit earned for the second book = 2000

    2000 x 100 = 40%

    5000
