He suffered 4% loss in total transaction.

Step-by-step explanation:

A businessman sold two television sets at the rupees = 36,000

He gets 20% profit on one television set and 20% loss on the other set.

Let the cost price of Television a = x

and the cost price of Television b = y

selling price of TV a and b each = 36,000 Rs.

In selling TV a he gained profit = 20%

x + 20%x = 36000

0.20x = 36000 - x

36000 = 1.20x

x = 36000/1.20

x = 30,000

In selling TV b he lost 20%

y - 20%x = 36000

36000 - y = -0.2y

36000 = 0.8y

y = 36000/0.8

y = 45,000

Total cost price of TV a and b = 30,000 + 45,000

                                                  = 75,000 Rs.

Total selling price of TV a and b = 36000 + 36000

                                                      = 72,000 Rs.

Loss = CP > SP

He suffered loss of 75,000 - 72,000 = 3,000

Percentage of his loss = \frac{3000}{75000}\times 100

                                     = 0.40 × 100

                                    = 4% loss

He suffered 4% loss in total transaction.
