Answer:
L.C.M of 16 and 12 =48
C.P of 16 articles =Rs.48
∴∴C.P of 1 article =Rs.48÷16=Rs.48÷16
=3=3
S.P of 12 articles =Rs. 48
S.P of 1 article =Rs.48÷12Rs.48÷12
=Rs.4=Rs.4
Gain on one article =Rs.4−Rs.3=Rs.4−Rs.3
=Rs=1=Rs=1
Gain %=TotalgainC.P%=TotalgainC.P×100×100
=13=13×100×100
=3313%=3313%

cost price of 16 =selling price of 12
it means
CP is greater then SP (CP > SP) . So, loss has occurred.
Hence ,
loss %= (cp-sp/sp)*100
= (16 - 12/12)*100
= (4/12) * 100
= 33 (1/3)%
