Profit & Loss is an important topic in Arithmetic under Quantitative Aptitude and is relevant for students preparing for NMAT 2026, SNAP 2026 and XAT 2027.
This class is conducted by Kavya K and is part of GRADSKOOL's complete preparation program for NMAT 2026, SNAP 2026 and XAT 2027.
The session focuses on Profit & Loss and helps students develop the conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills required to approach questions based on profit, loss and related commercial arithmetic.
This class covers Profit & Loss as part of Quantitative Aptitude preparation.
Key terminology associated with Profit & Loss includes:
• Cost Price (CP)
• Selling Price (SP)
• Profit
• Loss
• Profit Percentage
• Loss Percentage
• Discount
• Discount Percentage
• Markup Price (MP)
Profit & Loss questions require students to understand the relationship between the buying price and selling price of an item and determine the resulting profit or loss.
The class is designed to help students understand the topic and approach Profit & Loss questions systematically.
Students preparing for aptitude examinations need to be comfortable with the relationship between:
• Cost Price and Selling Price
• Profit and Profit Percentage
• Loss and Loss Percentage
• Percentage-based changes in price
• Different conditions involving buying and selling
Understanding these relationships helps students solve both direct and application-based Profit & Loss questions more efficiently.
Profit & Loss questions often become easier when the information is converted into a common base and the relationship between Cost Price and Selling Price is identified.
A systematic approach involves:
1. Identify the Cost Price and Selling Price.
2. Determine whether the transaction results in a profit or a loss.
3. Identify the relevant percentage relationship.
4. Translate the information into an appropriate equation or ratio.
5. Solve using the simplest available approach.
Students should focus on recognising the underlying relationship rather than treating every Profit & Loss question as a separate formula-based problem.
This class helps students build their understanding of Profit & Loss and develop a structured approach towards solving questions involving profit, loss, cost price, selling price and percentages.
The exact question set and sequence of examples covered in the class are based on the session recording.
