Practice - Percentages

Q. 1. A shopkeeper sold two items at the same selling price. He made a loss on one item and made a profit on the other. The profit and loss percentage on the two items are 10 % and 20 %, not necessarily in that order. Find the net profit percentage for the shopkeeper given that he made a profit in the entire transaction.

Q. 2. A merchant has 100 kg of sugar, part of which he sells at 7% profit and the rest at 17% profit. He gains 10% on the whole. How much is sold at 17% profit?

Q. 3. If a shopkeeper offers a discount of 20% on the list price of a washing machine, then he makes a profit of 12%. What is the profit or loss (in%), if he sells at a discount of 25% on the list price?

Q. 4. I bought 5 pens, 7 pencils and 4 erasers. Rajan bought 6 pens, 8 erasers and 14 pencils for an amount which was 50% more than what I had paid. What percentage of the total amount spent by me was spent on the pens?

Q. 5. A company had been selling its pianos at a discount of 20% on marked price of Rs. 325. To increase its sales, it decided to allow an additional discount so that a piano could be sold for Rs. 234. What was the second discount allowed?

Good morning bachchon

The results have started pouring and I have received messages from several students about their converts. And I couldn't be more happy! You put in the efforts and you deserve the rewards.

If, however, you missed the bus this time; FRET NOT.

This is not the end of the road. If you have have not reached where you wanted to - That just means

picture abhi baaki hai mere doston.

End mein hero hi jeet-ta hai

Be the hero that your story deserves! YOU HAVE THE PEN TO WRITE YOUR DESTINY - WRITE A BLOODY GREAT ONE!!!

Loving you all
@TheQuantMentor

Practice. Practice a lot.

गिरते हैं शहसवार (घुड़सवार) ही मैदान-ए-जंग में,
वो तिफ़्ल (छोटा बच्चा) क्या गिरे जो घुटनों के बल चले।

A question that I often get is - "What value does Math add to me? Where am I going to need all of this?"

1. Math teaches you to analyze problems logically. It helps you develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills applicable to many areas of life. It trains your mind to break down complex problems into simpler, manageable parts.

2. Mathematics improves your ability to work with numbers, understand statistics, and make informed decisions based on data.

3. Basic math skills are essential for managing finances, understanding measurements, cooking, and other everyday tasks. Math enhances learning in other disciplines like science, technology, and even art (e.g., understanding patterns, symmetry).

4. Engaging with mathematical concepts stimulates brain development, fostering intellectual growth and adaptability. These skills help you anticipate how systems or situations will behave or evolve.

Challenge your EGO

जिंदगी में सबसे आसान चीज है कहना कि नहीं होता| It is very easy to say “समझ में नहीं आता”| But, it is very difficult to work till “अब समझ में आया!”!

The next time you get stuck on something, Try something - Take an offence कि कैसे नहीं हुआ|

Feel bad कि नहीं हुआ| Challenge your EGO कि क्या मैं इतना भी नहीं कर सकता?

Because कोई problem इतनी बड़ी नहीं होती कि उसका कोई solution ना हो, सिर्फ दिल पर लगाने की बात है!!

So, take a challenge to not do your favourite activity till काम ना हो जाए!!!

Preparing for the CAT - 3 Month Edition

It might become challenging, but with the right approach and strategies, it is possible. Here are some tips to help you prepare:

1. Understand Exam Pattern: Familiarize yourself with exam pattern, type and number of questions. This will help you plan your preparation and develop a strategy for tackling the exam.

2. Create Study Plan: Develop a study plan to cover all the topics and sections of the exam. Allocate sufficient time to each topic based on your strengths and weaknesses. Exact number of hours are your decision.

3. Practice regularly: Just making a study plan isn't going to suffice. Follow it diligently. Solve mock tests, sample papers, and previous years' CAT papers. This will help build your confidence and improve your time management skills.

4. Focus on weak areas: Work on developing your problem-solving skills and time management strategies to maximize your performance in the exam.

5. Take breaks: Taking short, periodic breaks can help you recharge your energy and stay focused. Engage in activities that help you relax and rejuvenate.

6. Stay motivated: Surround yourself with positive energy and stay committed to your preparation plan.

Remember that cracking CAT requires consistent effort, dedication, and hard work. By following these tips and developing a disciplined approach to your preparation, you can increase your chances of success in the exam.
