cost price that we are getting is 7680, and total selling price is 7200. So the profit should be 480 rupees.
Also why did you say that there is loss in both cases?

Question:
A dealer sold two watches for Rs.3,600 each, gaining 25% on one and losing 25% on another. How much he gain or loss in the whole transaction?
Options:
A) 460
B) 470
C) 480
D) None of these 
Solution:

Ans: (c) 

SP of first watch = Rs. 3600, gain = 25% 
CP of first watch = (100/125) x 3600 = Rs. 2880
SP of second watch = Rs. 3600, loss = 25%
CP of second watch = (100/75) x 3600 = Rs. 4800
Total CP = (2880 + 4800) = 7680 
Total SP = (3600 x 2) = Rs. 7200
Loss = (7680 - 7200) = Rs. 480
So, on the whole, there is a loss of Rs. 480
