Answer 2

His net loss %​ is 4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Case 1:

SP of 1 article = 6000

Gain = 20%

$CP = \frac{SP \times 100}{(100+P\%)}\\CP=\frac{6000 \times 100}{(100+20)}\\CP=5000$

Case 2:

SP of 1 article = 6000

Loss = 20%

$CP = \frac{SP \times 100}{(100-P\%)}\\CP=\frac{6000 \times 100}{(100-20)}\\CP=7500$

Total SP = 6000+6000=12000

Total CP = 5000+7500=12500

CP>SP

So,Loss

$Loss\%=\frac{CP-SP}{CP} \times 100\\Loss\%=\frac{12500-12000}{12500} \times 100\\Loss\%=4\%$

Hence his net loss %​ is 4%
