Article M is sold at a reduction of ₹3,000 from its original price, and Article N is sold at a reduction of ₹2,500 from its original price. If the original prices of both articles were ₹10,000, reduction in price of M is R1% and reduction in price of N is R2%, find the difference between R1 and R2.
5
Reduction percentage for M: \(R_1 = \dfrac{3000}{10000}\times100 = 30\)%.
Reduction percentage for N: \(R_2 = \dfrac{2500}{10000}\times100 = 25\)%.
Difference: \(R_1-R_2 = 30-25 = 5\).
Hence, the difference between R1 and R2 is 5.
