  1. Answer:

    There will be profit. 33.3 %

    Step by step explanation :

    Let CP of 16 articles be x .

    CP of 1 article = x/ 16 rs.

    Let SP of 12 articles be y .

    ATQ , x = y

    So , SP of 12 articles = x

    SP of 1 article = x/12 rs.

    Profit = SP – CP

    = x / 12 – x / 16

    = 4x / 48 – 3x / 48

    = x / 48

    Profit % =( P × 100 / CP )

    = 100 x / 48 / x / 16

    = 100x / 48. × 16 / x

    = 100 / 3 = 33.3 %

    Hope it will help u :)
