20 % profit on $ 1.20 

= $ 20/100 × 1.20

= $ 0.20 × 1.20

= $ 0.24 

Similarly, 20 % loss on $ 1.20 

= $ 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.
