Merchant sells first thing for Rs. 12 which cost is originally calculated by X+X/4=12 that is X=9.6. 
Merchant sells the another thing for Rs. 12 which original cost is 15. 
It shows that merchant sells things for Rs. 24 with original cost 24.6, which is the loss of 2.5%

one he sells with loss of 2.4 paise

another he sells for 3paise gains

so (gain-loss) 3-2.4=60 paise.

Let the first thing be T1 and the second thing be T2.

T1

S.P. =Rs.12

let C.P. =Rs. x

loss =(20/100)*x

= Rs. x/5

now, x - x/5 = 12

x = Rs. 15



T2

S.P = Rs. 12

C.P = Rs. y

gain = (25/100)*y

= Rs. y/4

y + y/4 = 12

y = Rs. 9.60


so total C.P = Rs.24.60 and total S.P. = Rs. 24 therefore, there is a loss of 60 paisa

Merchant cells each thing for 12rs. so total c.p 24rs.
But he sells them one for 20% loss so s.p is 12-12* 20/100 = 9.60rs.
Another one for 25% gain so sp is 12+12*25/100 = 15rs.
Total selling price is 24.60p
Gain = s.p - c.p = 24.60 - 24.00 = 60p
so its gain.
