PROFIT AND LOSS

Points to Remember:

Cost Price (CP): The price at which an article is brought, including all costs such as transportation, taxes, etc.

Selling Price (SP): The price at which an article is sold.

Profit or Gain: If selling price is greater than cost price, the seller makes profit or gain. Gain = SP – CP.

Loss: If the SP is less than the CP then seller makes loss. Loss = CP – SP

Basic Formulae:

i) Gain = SP - CP

ii) Loss = CP – SP

iii) Gain% = {[(SP – CP) x 100]/CP}

iv) Loss% = {[(CP – SP) x 100]/CP}

v) A person sells an item at x% loss (+ sign) or x% profit (- sign). Had he sold that item for Rs. X more his profit would have been y%. Then

CP = [X/(y±x) × 100)

vi) If there is a loss of x% on selling an item at selling price (SP1) and also there is a profit of y% on selling price (SP2) then

SP2 = [SP1(100 + y)/(100 – x)]

vii) When a person sells two similar items, one at a gain of say x%, and at a loss of x%, then the seller always incurs a loss given by:

Loss% = (Common Loss and Gain%/10)² = (x/10)²

viii) If a trader professes to sell his goods at CP, but uses false weights, then,

Gain% = [Error/(True value – error)]x100%

ix) If the Cost price of M articles is equal to the selling price of N articles then the profit percent is given by

P = [(M – N)/N] x 100

Marked Price or List Price: Price that is indicated or marked on the article is called marked price or MP.

Discount: It is reduction given on the Marked Price or List Price of an article.

Discount% = discount/MP x 100%;

Selling Price = (100 – d)/100 x MP

x) If an article is sold after allowing two successive discounts of d1% and d2% then selling price (S.P) is given by

S.P = [(100 – d1)/100] x [(100 – d2)/100] x MP

xi) Two successive discounts of d1 and d2 are equivalent to a single discount of

d = d1 + d2 – (d1 x d2/100)

Solved Example Questions on Profit and Loss:

Type 1:

1. Pankaj purchased an item for Rs.7500 and sold it at the gain of 24%. From that amount he purchased another item and sold it at the loss of 20%. What is his overall gain or loss?

Solution:

CP1 = Rs.7500; SP1 = 7500 x 124/100 = Rs.9300 = CP2

SP2 = 9300 x 80/100 = 7440. Here CP1 > SP2 (Hence, loss is incurred here)

Therefore Loss = 7500 – 7440 = Rs.60

Type 2:

2. Vijay purchased a Washing machine and a Television for Rs.15,400 and Rs.19,600 respectively. He sold washing machine for a profit of 15 percent and the television for a loss of 20 percent. What is his overall loss/profit?

Solution:

CP of WM = 15400, P = 15%; CP of Tel = 19600, L = 20%

SP of WM = 115/100 x 15400 = 17710; SP of Tel = 80/100 x 19600 = 15680

Total CP = 15400 + 19600 = 35000

Total SP = 17710 + 15680 = 33390

Since CP is greater than SP loss is occurred. Loss = 35000 – 33390 = 1610 

Type 3:

3. If by selling an article for Rs 60, a person loses 1/7 of outlay (cost), what would he have gained or lost per cent by selling it for Rs.77?

Solution:

CP = SP/(1 – 1/7) = 60 x 7/6 = 70

Profit% = 77 – 70/70 x 100 = 10%

Type 4:

4. A producer of tea blends two varieties of tea from two tea gardens one costing Rs 18 per kg and another Rs 20 per kg in the ratio 5 : 3. If he sells the blended variety at Rs 21 per kg, then his gain percent is

Solution:

Suppose he bought 5 kg and 3 kg of tea

Cost Price = Rs. (5 x 18 + 3 x 20) = Rs. 150

Selling price = Rs. (8 x 21) = Rs. 168.

Profit = 168 - 150 = 18

So, Profit % = (18/150) * 100 = 12%

Type 5:

5. If books bought at prices ranging from Rs. 200 to Rs. 350 are sold at prices ranging from Rs. 300 to Rs. 425, what is the greatest possible profit that might be made in selling eight books?

Solution:

Least Cost Price = Rs. (200 * 8) = Rs. 1600.

Greatest Selling Price = Rs. (425 * 8) = Rs. 3400.

Required profit = Rs. (3400 - 1600) = Rs. 1800.

Answers with Explanation for Exercise Questions:

1). Answer: e)

1^st SP = 2nd CP = Rs.54000 – 8% of Rs.54000.
= Rs.54000 – Rs.4320 = Rs.49680.
2^nd  SP = Rs.49680 + 10% of Rs.49680
= Rs.49680 + Rs.4968 = Rs.54648.

:. Overall profit = 54648 – 54000 = Rs.648

2). Answer: c)

The total CP = Rs.15400 + Rs.19600 = Rs.35000
SP of Printer = 15400+ its 15% = 15400 + 2310 = Rs.17710.
SP of Washing machine = 19600 – its 20% = 19600-3920 = Rs.15680.
Total SP = 17710 + 15680 = Rs.33390
:. Overall loss = 35000 – 33390 = Rs.1610

3). Answer: e)

Let C.P. = Rs. P
S.P. = (C.P.) - (Loss) = P - P/7 = Rs. 6P/7
∵ 6P / 7 = 144
∴ P = (144 x 7) / 6 = Rs. 168
Hence, no Loss and no gain.

4). Answer: c)

C.P. of Mathi = 110% of Rs. 100000 = Rs. 110000
Loss of Mathi = 10%
S.P. of Mathi = 90% of Rs. 110000 = Rs. 99000
Thus, C.P. of Arun = Rs. 99000
So, Arun gets [(10% of Rs. 100000) + (100000 - 99000)] = Rs. 11000

5). Answer: b)

The greatest profit is possible only if the cost price of the articles is minimum and selling prices are maximum.

Let lowest cost price of the 15 articles = 150*15 = Rs. 2,250

Maximum selling price of 15 articles = 350 *15 = Rs. 5,250

So, maximum profit = 5250 - 2250 = Rs. 3,000

6). Answer: c)

Let 5 kg of cheaper be mixed with 3 kg of dearer.

Then, Total C.P. = Rs. (180 x 5 + 200 x 3) = Rs. 1500

Total S.P. = Rs. (210 x 8) = Rs. 1680

Gain % = (180/1500 x 100) % = 12%

7). Answer: c)

Let 2x, 4x and 3x kg of three varieties be mixed.

Then, C.P. = Rs. [(2x × 50) + (4x × 20) + (3x × 30)] = Rs. 270x

S.P. = Rs. [(2x + 4x + 3x) × 33] = Rs. 297x

Gain % = (27x / 270x × 100) % = 10%

8). Answer: c)

Let C.P. = Rs.100
S.P. at 10% loss = Rs. 90
∵ 2 / 3 of actual S.P. = Rs. 90
So, Actual S.P. = Rs. (90 x 3/2) = Rs. 135
∴ Gain = 35%

9). Answer: c)

∵ S.P. = Rs. 54000
Gain earned = 20%
∴ C.P. = Rs. (100/120) x 54000 = Rs. 45000
Now, S.P. = Rs. 45000
And Loss = 10%
∴ Original C.P. = Rs. (100/90) x 45000 = Rs. 50000

10). Answer: a)

Here, A = 2/5, R = 15%
According to the formula
Gain % = AR/(1 - A)%
= [(2/5) x 15]/[1 - (2/5)]%
= (6 x 5)/3%
= 10%

1) A. Sol. The mean marks of 10 boys = 70%
Total marks of 10 boys = 70% × 10 = 700
The mean marks of 15 girls = 60%
Total marks of 15 girls = 60% × 15 = 900
∴ Sum of the total marks of 25 students = 700 + 900 = 1600
∴ The mean marks of all the 25 students =1600/25=64%  

2) C.

3) C.  Total expenditure for 4 months = Rs. 2750 × 4 = Rs. 11000
Total expenditure for 3 months = Rs. 2940 × 3 = Rs. 8820   …(i)
Total expenditure of 5 months = Rs. 3130 × 5= Rs. 15650  …(ii)
Total expenditure in the whole year = Rs. 11000 + 8820 + Rs. 15650
= Rs. 35470.
Saving during the whole year = Rs. 5330
Total income of the family during the year
= Rs. 35470 + Rs. 5330 = Rs. 40800
∴ Average monthly income during the year
=40800/12= Rs. 3400

4) C

5) D  

6) B.

7) B.

8) C. Sum of weights of A, B and C = 84 × 3 kg = 252 kg
Weight of D = 4 × 80 – 252
= 320 – 252 = 68 kg
Weight of E = 68 + 3 = 71 kg
A + B + C + D = 320
B + C + D + E = 79 × 4 = 316
⇒ A – E = 4 kg
∴ A = 4 + E = 4 + 71 = 75 kg.

9) D.  The total age of 7 person = 30 × 7 = 210 years.
Total age of 5 persons = 31 × 5 = 155 years.
∴ The total age of 2 persons = (210 – 155) years = 55 years.
∴ The average age of two persons =55/2=27.5 years

10) D.

  QUANTITATIVE APTITUDE :--

1. D) Part of the tank filled in 3 minutes = [1/10 + 1/15 + 1/12] = (6+4+5) / 60 = 15/60 = ¼
therefore, total time = 4 x 3 = 12 minutes

2. C) Let x litres water be added in the mixture,
Then (35 + x)40 = 44 x 35
Or, 1400 + 40x = 1540
Therefore, x = 140/40 = 3.5
Therefore 3.5 litres water must be added in the mixture.

3. B) Let the length of the bridge be x m and that of first train be y m.
(x+ y)/35 = 20
x + y = 700
Again, [x + (y – 140)] / 40 = t
(x – y – 140) / 40 = t => (700 – 140) / 40 = t
T = 560/40 = 14 seconds

4. B) Let the distance between the two places be D km.
Speed of the man downstream = 7.5 + 2.5 = 10 kmph
And the speed of the man upstream = 7.5 — 2.5 = 5 kmph
Let the time taken to go downstream be t1 and upstream be t2.
Distance D is 10t1 = 5t2.
t 2 = 2t1 ….(i)
And t1 + t2 = 30 …(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get
t1 = 10 hours
t2 = 20 hours
distance = 10t1= 10 x 10 = 100 km

5. D) Interest earned by Rangesh = (11700x5x2) / 100 = 1170
Interest earned by Mangesh = (11700x5x3)/100 = 1755
Interest earned by Ganesh = (11700x5x4)/100 = 2340
Reqd answer = 2340 — 1755 = 585

6. C) Let the speed of the current be x kmph.
Then, downstream speed = 12 + x
Upstream speed = 12 ‐ x
Now, [ 60 / (12+x) ] + [ 60 / (12 — x) ] = 11 + (15/60) =11 1/4 = 45/4
or, (60 x 12 ‐ 60x + 60 x 12 + 60x) / (144 — x2) = 45/4
or, 1440 / (144 – x2) = 45/4
or, 32 / (144—x2) = 1/ 4
or, 128 = 144 — x2
or,x2 = 144 — 128 = 16
Therefore x = 4 kmph

7. A) Circumference of the circle A = 2Пr
And diameter = 2r
Thus, 2r + 2Пr = 174
or, 2r(1 + П) = 174
or, r(1 + П) = 87
r = 87 / [ 1 + (22/7)] = (87×7) / 29 = 21cm
Radius of the circle B = 21 — 7 = 14 cm
Therefore, Circumference of the circle B = 2 x (22/7) x 14 =88 cm

8. C)
Now, B — C = 1122
Or, 168 — 100 = 1122
Or, 68 = 1122
120 = (1122/88) × 120 = 1980

9. E)
Now, (3x —25) / (x ‐ 25) = 19/3
or, 19x ‐ 25 x 19 = 9x ‐ 25 x 3
or, 10x = 475 — 75 = 400
x = 40 litres
Hence the quantity of milk in Jar A was 3x = 3 x 40 = 120 litres

10. D) Cost price of luxury pen = 4536 x (100/120) = 4536 x (5/6) = 756 x 5 = 3780
Marked price = 3780 x (100/70) = 54 x100 = Rs.5400
