    gain = 0

    % = 0

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Profit

    He sells one for a profit of 25% That means he sells one of them for 100% + 25% = 125%

    ₹1500 * 125/100 = ₹187500/100 = ₹1875

    Loss

    Here he sells it for 25% less than the selling price he wanted.

    100% - 25% = 75%

    ₹1500 * 75/100 = ₹112500/100 = ₹1125

    Discussion

    He should make ₹1500 + ₹1500 = ₹3000 without either profit or loss.

    What he actually accomplishes is ₹1125 + ₹1875 = ₹3000

    So he has a net gain (loss) of 0.

    The % is 0
