2. Answer:

   20% loss

   Step-by-step explanation:

   Total cost price of pens at 1 rs per pen = 250

   5 pens sold at rs 4 so cost of one pen = 4/5 rs

   cost of 250 pens = 250 multiplied by 4/5 = 200 rs

   Cost price = 250rs

   Selling price = 200 rs

   Loss =C.p – S.p

   250–200 = 50 rs

   loss% = 20%

   [tex] \frac{l}{cp} \times 100 \\ \frac{50}{250} \times 100 \\ \\ 2 \times 10 = 20\% [/tex]
