PROFIT & LOSS
a. Cost Price (CP) : Price of an article at which it is bought.

b. Selling Price (SP) : Price of an article at which it is sold.

c. Marked Price (MP) : It is also known as the listed price or


printed price, or maximum retai l price of an article, which is
decided by the seller so that he can sell it to a customer and
make a profit.

d. Profit% is calculated on the cost price.


SP-CP Pron~
Profit = SP - CP, Profit %= ( CP ) * 100 = (c'P";* 100.
e. Loss % is also calculated on the cost price.
Loss = CP - SP,. Loss '0/4; =

AVERAGE

Sum of all the observations


Average=
Number of observations

Note : The Average of a set of values always lies between


the minimum and to maximum .
i.e., Minimum ~ Average ~ Maximum .

Remembei- the following points about averages:


0 1
i. Average on 1• 1 n natural number • ; (i.e. , n(n+ 1)/2/n ... (n+ 1)/2)
ii. Average of l •t n odd numbers (l, 3, 5, .....• 2n - 1) ... n {i.e., n 2 / n • n)
iii. Average of 1at n even numbers (2, 4 , 6, ..... , 2n) • n + 1
0 1
iv. Average of n terms in Arithmetic Progression • ; th tenn • middle term,
when n is odd.
For example: Average (3, 7, 11, 15, 19~ 23, 27) • 15

• Average
of middle terms, wben n is even.

For example: Average of (6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30, 34) • ; • 19
ALLIGATION & MIXTURE
Alligation: The rule allows us to determine the ratio of
quantities in which two or more ingredients at the given
price rr1ust be combined to produce the desired price.

Rule of Alligation:
If two ingredients are mixed, then

Quantity of C.P. of dearer - Mean


cheaper Price
= -----------
Quantity of Mean price - C.P.. of
dearer cheaper

TIME, SPEED, & DISTANCE

General formula : D istan ce = Sp eed x Ti me

Unit conversion:
. of speed = ~
U nit Jon:

kin 5 1n 18 ,
- = -5 kn1/hr
1-hr = -Ul tn/sect 1sec

Avera ge Speed: Total Distance/Total time taken

Relative speed: The re lative speed of two objects moving


with speeds S1 & S2 when they are moving in :

· , SR = S1 - S2, S1 > S2
· · ·' SR ~ S1 + S2
LINEAR & CIRCULAR RACES
Linear races:
1. In a race of d meters, A beats B by x metres:
'S A/Se= d/(d-x)

2. In a race, A beats B by t seconds:

3. In a race, A beats B by x meters or t seconds.

Se, = -It ' m/:s eic,
Circular Races:
If two people are running on a circular track with
speeds in ratio A: B, where A and Bare co-prime, then

1. They will meet at A+B distinct points if they are


running in opposite directions.
2. Th e y ~vi ll n1 e et at IA- B I d is ti n ct po i n ts if they are
running in the same direction.
