Solution:

<span>20 % profit on $ 1.20 </span>

= $ 20/100 × 1.20

= $ 0.20 × 1.20

<span>= $ 0.24 </span>

<span>Similarly, 20 % loss on $ 1.20 </span>

= $ 20/100 × 1.20

= $ 0.20 × 1.20

= $ 0.24

Therefore, in one pipe his profit is $ 0.24 and in the other pipe his loss is $ 0.24.

Since both profit and loss amount is same so, it’s broke even.
