Approimately two or three bank k exa exam m or in ot Governmen nmentt job e !uesti !ue stion on in ev every ery ban othe herr Gover eam am suc such h as SSC CGL exam surly comes rom this topic o Proft and Loss.

Exaple (1)! A person bought a bicycle or &s '(). *or how much should he sell it so as to gain +), proft on itSol"tion! In this problem we have to fnd out the selling price or which the person will get the +), proft. So by using the Maths Shortcut +/ we have$ Selling Price SP/ 0 +)) 1 +)/2+)) 3 '() = #$% So selling price should be this one to gain the +), proft on it/ Exaple (#)! A shop4eeper purchased a 5oo4 or &s (6). *or how much he should sell it so he gets +), loss on it. Sol"tion! Again by using the Maths Shortcut +/. 5ut in this we have to fnd out the selling price so that loss occur so we have to use subtraction as shown below in the solution. Selling Price 0 +)) 7 +)/ 2 +))3 (6) = %0&'
