Best Answer Explained in Below-:

Let's denote the cost price of the first item as $� �_{1}$ and the cost price of the second item as $� �_{2}$ .

We know that:

The first item was sold at a 20% profit, which means the selling price of the first item is $� �_{1} + 0.20 \times � �_{1} = 1.20 \times � �_{1}$ .
The second item was sold at a 20% loss, which means the selling price of the second item is $� �_{2} - 0.20 \times � �_{2} = 0.80 \times � �_{2}$ .

Since both items were sold together for taka 3600, we can write the equation: $1.20 \times � �_{1} + 0.80 \times � �_{2} = 3600$

We need to find the profit or loss made by the sale, which is the difference between the total selling price and the total cost price.

To proceed further, we need additional information such as the relationship between the cost prices of the two items or any other relevant data. Without that, we can't determine the exact profit or loss made by the sale. Therefore, based on the given information, the answer is "None of these."
