The profit is 25%.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Ravi sold 16 pens at the cost of 20 pens .

Selling price of 16 pens = Cost price of 20 pens

SP\times 16=CP\times 20

\dfrac{SP}{CP}=\dfrac{20}{16}

\dfrac{SP}{CP}=\dfrac{5}{4}

The ratio of SP to CP is 5:4.

Let SP and CP are 5x and 4x respectively.

Profit\%=\dfrac{SP-CP}{CP}\times 100

Profit\%=\dfrac{5x-4x}{4x}\times 100

Profit\%=\dfrac{x}{4x}\times 100

Profit\%=25

Therefore, the profit is 25%.
