            Please pay your attention on  HOW  I  EDITED  your post in order for it would make sense.

            Such problems must go in a well edited mode,  ONLY.

            They  SHOULD  NOT go in a poorly written mode. 


(1)  The man sold 1-st item for Rs 1000 and gained 30%.


     It means that the buying price x of this item satisfies this equation


         x + 0.3x = 1000,

     or

           1.3x   = 1000,   x =  = Rs 769.23.



(2)  The man sold 2-nd item for Rs 1000 and loss 20%.


     It means that the buying price x of this item satisfies this equation


         x - 0.2x = 1000,

     or

           0.8x   = 1000,   x =  = Rs 1250.00.



(3)  Thus the man bought the two items for the total  Rs (769.23 + 1250.00) = Rs 2019.23.


     The man sold the two items for the total of Rs 1000 + Rs 1000 = Rs 2000.


     Hence, he loss Rs 2019.23 - Rs 2000 = Rs 19.23.


     His overall percentage loss is   = 0.95%.      ANSWER

Solved.

Be wary of any response you get from tutor @CubeyThePenguin. They are very often hastily composed and contain errors; they also rarely show anything that helps YOU learn how to solve a problem.

In this case, he simply did not answer the question that was asked....
