That means book answer is wrong. Even I got same as 16%.
selling price = 1550
since the loss is 310, cost price = 1860
percentage loss based on cost price = 310/1860 = 16.7%
percentage loss based on selling price = 310/1550 = 20%
with neither of the two interpretations, the rate cannot be 25%

Put C.P = 1240 ( it come from 1550 - 310) and it will be 25%.
