• let cp of 1 article be Re.1
  cp of 10 articles=Rs.10
  sp of 10 articles=cp of 12 articles=Rs.12
  %p=(2/10)*100=20%

• Answer is :20
  when cp of M articles =sp of N articles
  %profit/loss=[(M-N)/N]*100
  [(12-10)/10]*100=20

• let the CP of 1 item is X
  then for 12 item is 12X
  SP of 10 item is 12X which should be 10X
  so the profit is 2X
  therefore profit %=2X/10X*100=20%
