$\: \: \:$

$\tt{Let \: SP \: of \: 1 \: candle = Rs. \: 1} \:$

$\tt{SP \: of \: 15 \: candles = Rs. \: 15} \:$

$\sf \pink{ \underline{Hence, }}$

$\tt {CP \: of \: 12 \: candles = Rs. \: 15}$

$\tt{SP \: of \: 15 \: candles = Rs. \: 12} \:$

$\sf \pink{ \underline{Therefore \: Loss}}$

$\tt = CP - SP$

$\tt = 15 - 12$

$\large \boxed { \sf { \red{= Rs. 3}}}$
