A Correct answer
Explanation

Quantity I: CP per article = 5/6 Rs, SP per article = 6/5 Rs. Profit = 11/30 Rs. Profit% = (11/30)/(5/6) × 100 = 44%. Quantity II: CP per toy = 350/100 = 3.5 Rs, SP per toy = 60/12 = 5 Rs. Profit% = (1.5/3.5) × 100 = 42.86%. Therefore Quantity I (44%) > Quantity II (42.86%).
