    a. $3,000 net short-term capital gain

    Explanation:

    The computation of the amount of the capital gains and losses is shown below:

    = Long term capital gain - long term capital loss

    = $2,000 - $9,000

    = - $7,000

    = Short term capital gain - short term capital loss

    = $25,000 - $15,000

    = $10,000

    After equating these above values the balance would be $3,000 and considered as a short term capital gain
