Answer:

12%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of the article be rupees x.

Price of article after increasing by 40%

                    = 140x/100

Price after 20% depreciation

                     = 140x/100 X 80/100

                     = 112x/100

Overall price increment percentage

                     = 12x/100 /x X 100

                     = 12%
