Even R.S. Agarwal is a part of some of the institute's coaching material....

Let's have a sequence....

My Take:-

1.Profit and Loss
2.Percentages
3.Time and Work
4.Time and Distance
5.Averages Mixtures and Allegation
6.Simple Equations
7.Permutation & Combinations
8.Probability
9.Quadratic Equations
10.Geometry
11.Numbers


Topics from 7-11 will require a good amount of time to be invested.

Excellent so will start fro profit and loss from today. Will do RS AGARWAL and my ims brm.

You can post any basic level question in which you have doubts..!! And about materials and stuff. I will regularly post basic formula and funda in between. Its better we just go it this way rather than following any material. And i will make sure every basic point in covered in every topic. Don't worry about that. And any question from any material can be posted here. No issues. But please don't go directly to high difficulty level problems. That was the big mistake that i have done last year. I don't want to repeat it this time...!!!

Couldn't be more specific than this see i also committed the same blunder and really when i couldnt come up with solutions i was really frustrated.


Hyd lets have a sequence in which the topics will be discussed and this should be systematic that is some time should be allocated to that topic.

but friend that is the problem see the thing is that first of all that everybody might not have the same material someone might have IMS material also so a common footing might not be established and also TIME material is a little advanced in my view so thats why i stated that lets start with a basic book like R S and then move on to coaching material.
And regarding the quant thread i honestly feel what has been stated earlier that it of a very high level.

My suggestion is rather than starting with RS aggarwal, start with any of the coaching class material like TIME, CL etc. Since i have gone through TIME material it is good Then you can move on to Arun SHarma and the quant thread that is going here. to excel that is the best platform
All the best :)

Bhai log waise meri hasiyat toh nahi hai suggestion dene ki but here's one .

Lets start from a basic level book lets say R S AGGARWAL and have a fixed target of lets say 2-3 months to finish it i.e the end of march so that atleast the basic application part is finished and lets have a common topic or chapter for discussion for a fixed time lets say 2-3 days and all our doubts are to be posted here for that period so that the topics can be finished completely.

@Retribution...Never ever have a low self esteem....even if you are really a zero...always have an ability to learn...learn from anybody u can find to learn something...anything man anything...have a positive attitude....u r not the smartest or the brainiest but what you must have is Hard Work..You have this weapon and you have the dexterity to use it...

ATB...

Also

@Hydrocker....Its time to take on the charge and do something good for us and for alll.....

All of us must go through the basics as posted and if any doubt prevails must ask it as because people may laugh once if you don't know it but if u will not ask then you give them an oppurtunity to laugh at you for all times...this is specially for retribution...All of us are with you go ahead and everybody shall help you.....

Great Job.....I am in...Lets start it...

Also one more thing....Number System is a vast topic so it will take time.....so let's start it a bit later....

Yup Sure.. As per peoples demand we shall go. And i too feel that we shall first cover all the easy topics and then enter in to the difficult topics. So i will make sure that we will complete all the easy topics first with in a month or two...!!!!

6. A Person buys an item at Rs. 120 and sells to another at a profit of 25%. If the second person sells the item to another at Rs. 180, Whar is the profit % of second person..??

7. A milk vendor mixes water to 20 ltrs of milk such that the ratio of milk and water is 4:3. He sold the mixture at Rs. 12 per liter but brought the milk at Rs. 10 per liter. Find the profit % of the Vendor.

6) C.P = 120
S.P = 120 + 25% of 120 = 120+30 = 150
C.P of 2nd person = 150
S.P of 2nd Person = 180
Profit % = (180 - 150/150) * 100 = 20%

7) M/W = 20/W
20/W = 4/3
W = 15 Liters
M = 20 Liters
Total = 20+15 = 35 Liters
C.P = 20 * 10 = 200
S.P = 35 * 12 = 350 + 70 = 420
Profit % = (420-200/200) * 100 = 110% gain

3. A Trader uses 1 kg weight for 800 gm and increases the price by 20%. Find his profit/loss percentage.

4. A milk Vendor mixes water to milk such that he gains 25%. Find the percentage of water in the mixture.

5. A Trader brought an item for Rs. 200. If he wants a profit of 22%, at what price must he sell it?

3) Let us assume that each gram costs 1 Rs .
So The price of 1 kg = 1000.
He says that the price is Increased by 20%.
Now the new price = 1200
But the Actual weight is 800gm. Its cost = 800
Profit = 1200 - 800 = 400
Profit % = 400/800 * 100 = 50%

4) Let quantity of milk be 100 Liters.
Let the cost of each liter be 1 Rs. So the total cost = 100.
He wants 25% gain which means 100 + 25% of 100 = 125
Now he must add 25 liters of water to the milk.
Percentage of water in the mixture is 25/125 * 100 = 20%

5) Profit % = S.P - C.P / C.P * 100
22 = (S.P - 200 / 200) * 100
44 = S.P - 200
S.P = 244

Very Basic Questions :-

1. A shopkeeper buys scientific calculators in bulk for $15 each. He sells them for $40 each. Calculate the profit on each calculator in dollars, and as a percentage of the cost price.

2. A school bookshop sells an outdated biology text book for $49.35, making a 6% loss. What was the cost price of the book, and what is the cash value of the loss?

1) C.P = 15
S.P = 40
Profit = 40-15 = 25
Profit % = (25/15)*100 = 166% approx.

2) S.P = 49.35
Loss % = 6%
Loss % = C.P - S.P/C.P * 100
6 = (C.P-49.35/C.P)*100
6C.P = 100C.P - 4935
94 C.P = 4935
C.P = 52.48 Approx.
Loss = 52.48 - 49.35 = 3.03

Profit and loss is the branch of basic mathematics which deals with the study of profit and loss made in a business transaction.
Profit and loss is mainly used in finance and business transactions.

Some important profit and loss formulas are :
Notations used in profit and loss:
S.P. Selling price
C.P. Cost price
M.P. Marked Price
Profit and Loss Formulas:
1. Profit or Gain = S.P. C.P. [ profit is made only when S.P. is greater then C.P.]
2. Loss = C.P S.P. [ Loss id made only when C.P. is greater than S.P.]
3. Profit % = (Actual Profit C.P. ) 100%
4. Loss % = (Actual loss C.P. ) 100%
5. C.P. = (S.P. 100 ) (100 + profit%) [If profit is made]
6. C.P. = (S.P. 100 ) (100 profit%) [If loss is made]
7. S.P. = (100 + profit%) C.P 100 [If profit is made]
8. S.P. = (100 loss%) C.P 100 [If loss is made]
9. Actual Discount = M.P. S.P.
10. Discount% = (Actual Discount M.P.) 100%
11. S.P. = M.P. Actual Discount
12. S.P. = M.P. Discount% of M.P.
13. S.P. = (100 Discount%) of M.P.
