As the win leads to multiplying the amount by 1.5 and loss leads to multiplying the amount by 0.5, we will multiply initial amount by 1.5 thrice and by 0.5 thrice (in any order).

The overall resultant will remain same.
So final amount with the person will be (in all cases):

Hence the final result is:
64−27=37: A loss of Rs 37
