Exclude the 5% rejected from the whole lot. It will be 1900 (95% of 2000). Now he makes a profit of 25% on these 1900 articles @ 25 per piece. His total SP becomes 47500 (25*1900). Now find his CP on this amount which will be 38000.
Now his 50% lot was rejected. It means that only 1000 out of total 2000 items were accepted. This makes his SP equal to 25000 (25*1000).
Hence his loss is CP-SP i.e. 38000-25000=13000.
