Question 2: A man sold a fan for Rs. 465. Find the cost price if he incurred a loss of 7%.
Solution:
CP = [100 / (100 – Loss %)] * SP
Therefore, the cost price of the fan = (100/93)*465 = Rs. 500
Question 3: In a transaction, the profit percentage is 80% of the cost. If the cost further increases by 20% but the selling price remains the same, how much is the decrease in profit percentage?
Solution:
Let us assume CP = Rs. 100.
Then Profit = Rs. 80 and selling price = Rs. 180.
The cost increases by 20% → New CP = Rs. 120, SP = Rs. 180.
Profit % = 60/120 * 100 = 50%.
Therefore, Profit decreases by 30%.
Question 4: A man bought some toys at the rate of 10 for Rs. 40 and sold them at 8 for Rs. 35. Find his gain or loss percent.
Solution:
Cost price of 10 toys = Rs. 40 → CP of 1 toy = Rs. 4.
Selling price of 8 toys = Rs. 35 → SP of 1 toy = Rs. 35/8
Therefore, Gain = 35/8 – 4 = 3/8.
Gain percent = (3/8)/4 * 100 = 9.375%
Question 5: The cost price of 10 pens is the same as the selling price of n pens. If there is a loss of 40%, approximately what is the value of n?
Step 1: Parts of the expression enclosed in ‘Brackets’ must be solved first. Inside the brackets, once again BODMAS rules apply!
Step 2: The mathematical operators ‘of’ and ‘order’ must be solved next. ‘Of’ means part of and is solved by substituting with a multiplication sign. ‘Order’ is the same as exponent. Powers are solved after brackets. Powers also include roots.
Step 3: Next, the parts of the equation that contain ‘Division’ and ‘Multiplication’ are calculated.
Step 4: Last but not least, the parts of the equation that contain ‘Addition’ and ‘Subtraction’ should be calculated.
Here is an example, to help you understand the BODMAS rule concept.
EXAMPLE:
What will come in place of question mark (?) in the following question?
According to the BODMAS, first we need to solve the Brackets.
Here in this equation first we will solve curly bracket and inside the bracket, we will again follow BODMAS Rule. In the curly bracket once again another bracket appears. So we solve that bracket first. Within these smaller brackets, there is no ‘of’ or ‘order’, so we proceed with the following steps in BODMAS.
We see multiplication, division and subtraction signs. Since multiplication and division are of the same rank, we go left to right to solve this. First we multiply, then we divide. Then we perform the second multiplication. After that, we proceed to the subtraction.
⇒ 240 ÷ 8 × 512 ÷ 4 + ½ of {1800 ÷ (33 × 3 – 69)2} = ?
⇒ 240 ÷ 8 × 512 ÷ 4 + ½ of {1800 ÷ (99 – 69)2} = ?
⇒ 240 ÷ 8 × 512 ÷ 4 + ½ of {1800 ÷ 302} = ?
Now we have reached the end of the small brackets. We encounter our first exponent. So we need to solve this ahead of division.
Now solving curly bracket,
⇒ 240 ÷ 8 × 512 ÷ 4 + ½ of {1800 ÷ 900} = ?
⇒ 240 ÷ 8 × 512 ÷ 4 + ½ of 2 = ?
So far we have cleared all the brackets. Now we move to the next step. We come across our first ‘of’. Here, we simply treat ‘of’ as product i.e. multiplication. But note that, ‘of’ will be solved before a regular multiplication.
⇒ 240 ÷ 8 × 512 ÷ 4 + ½ × 2 = ?
⇒ 240 ÷ 8 × 512 ÷ 4 + 1 = ?
Now, we have cleared our expression of all brackets, exponents and ‘of’s. We now move to the 3rd step. Here we perform all the divisions and multiplications. Note that these two operations are the same rank. So we perform either in the order we come across them in, from left to right.
⇒ 30 × 512 ÷ 4 + 1 = ?
⇒ 15360 ÷ 4 + 1 = ?
⇒ 3840 + 1 = ?
Now we have cleared the expression of all multiplication and division operations as well. All we are left with is addition and subtraction.
⇒ ? = 3841
Hence, the required answer is 3841.

Ans) Before going to the answer we just know about basic fundamentals of aptitude We need to apply BODMAS rule to solve the equation.. which is B - Bracket O - of D - Division M - Multiplication A - Addition S - Substraction we need to follow the above Priority to solve 9-3(1/3)+1 => 9-9+1 (Assume 3/(1/3) => (3/1)/(1/3) => 9/1 =>9 =0+1 =1 Example 2: 2. 5+63/9+2-12/3=? Ans ) first we need to apply BODMAS rule = 5+63/9+2-12/3 IN this problem no brackets so we go for solving divisions first = 5+7+2-4 Next No multiplications available so we go for addition = 14-4 Next we go for substraction = 10 Ans 5+63/9+2-12/3 = 10
The simple trick to remember the last digit of this table because this table is very important to find the cube root For numbers 1,4,5,6,9,0 is same the last digit occurs Number 2 flips 8 and vice versa Number 3 flips 7 and vice versa Now we will learn the basic procedure to solve the cube root of a number
Take the unit digit same to the result.
Leave the last three digits of the number.
The last step is to find the nearest cube and put the left side of the unit digit.
Now you will get the result of the cube root.
Now we will solve the examples of the cube root
1.find the cube root of 39,304?
Ans) From the above procedure
first finding the unit digit so it is 4
Leaving the last three numbers so leave304 we get remaining 39
find the nearest cube for 39 which is 27= 33
Finally, club the answer to get the cube root of 39,304
which is the cube root of 39,304= 34
1.find the cube root of 636,056?
Ans) From the above procedure
first finding the unit digit so it is 6
Leaving the last three numbers so leave 056 we get remaining 39
find the nearest cube for 39 which is 512= 83
Finally, club the answer to get the cube root of 636,056
The procedure is just 1, x1,x2,x3 Here X is the Second digit of a Number
and in a second line leave the first and last digits and then double the remaining numbers and Add the now then we get result
For Example 123= 1 2 4 8
+ 4 8
-----------------------------
1 7 2 8
Now 123= 1728
2.Number Ends With "1"
The procedure is reverse of above
x3,x2,x1,1 like this here x is the first value
and in a second line leave the first and last digits and then double the remaining numbers and Add the now then we get result
For Example 313 = 27 9 3 1
+ 18 6
----------------------------------
29 7 9 1
Ans 313= 29791
3.Same number repeated:
The Procedure for this forall four we just enter as x3,x3,x3,x3same here X is same so no issue andin a second line leave the first and last digits and then double the remaining numbers and Add the now then we get result
For Example 223 = 8 8 8 8
+ 16 16
---------------------------
10 6 4 8
Ans 223 = 10648
4.Different number comes:
Here is different from all
Here we consider 1st digit as X and 2nd Digit as Y
The procedure x3,(x2*y),(y2*x), y3
and a second line leave the first and last digits and then double the remaining numbers and Add the now then we get result
where x km/hr is a speed for certain distance and y km/hr is a speed at for same distance covered.
**** Remember that average speed is not just an average of two speeds i.e. x+y/2. It is equal to 2xy / x+y
3) Always remember that during solving questions units must be same. Units can be km/hr, m/sec etc.
**** Conversion of km/ hr to m/ sec and m/ sec to km/ hr
x km/ hr = (x* 5/18) m/sec i.e. u just need to multiply 5/18
Similarly, x m/sec = (x*18/5) km/sec
4) As we know, Speed = Distance/ Time. Now, if in questions Distance is constant then speed will be inversely proportional to time i.e. if speed increases ,time taken will decrease and vice versa.
Problem 1: A man covers a distance of 600m in 2min 30sec. What will be the speed in km/hr?
Solution: Speed =Distance / Time
⇒ Distance covered = 600m, Time taken = 2min 30sec = 150sec
Therefore, Speed= 600 / 150 = 4 m/sec
⇒ 4m/sec = (4*18/5) km/hr =14.4 km/ hr.
Problem 2: A boy travelling from his home to school at 25 km/hr and came back at 4 km/hr. If whole journey took 5 hours 48 min. Find the distance of home and school?
Solution: In this question, distance for both speed is constant.
⇒ Average speed = (2xy/ x+y) km/hr, where x and y are speeds
⇒ Average speed = (2*25*4)/ 25+4 =200/29 km/hr
Time = 5hours 48min = 29/5 hours
Now, Distance travelled = Average speed * Time
⇒ Distance Travelled = (200/29)*(29/5) = 40 km
Therefore distance of school from home = 40/2 = 20km.
Problem 3: Two men start from opposite ends A and B of a linear track respectively and meet at point 60m from A. If AB= 100m. What will be the ratio of speed of both men?
Solution: According to this question, time is constant. Therefore, speed is directly proportional to distance.
Speed∝Distance
⇒ Ratio of distance covered by both men = 60:40 = 3:2
⇒ Therefore, Ratio of speeds of both men = 3:2
Problem 4: A car travels along four sides of a square at speeds of 200, 400, 600 and 800 km/hr. Find average speed?
Solution: Let x km be the side of square and y km/hr be average speed
Using basic formula, Time = Total Distance / Average Speed
For conversion of Km/hr to m/sec and as well as m/sec to km/hr
For km/hr to m/sec = we need multiply with 5/18
For m/sec to km/hr = we need multiply with 18/5
If u need clear info about conversion you can comment below
Ex:-
1. A person crosses a 600 m long street in 5 minutes. what is his speed in km/hr?
Ans:
D= 600m
T= 5min
S=? in km/hr
In this, we can't do the direct calculation because speed in meters and Time in minutes so we need to convert anyone either speed into km or Time into sec or hr
Time = 5*60
= 300sec
Speed=Distance/Time
= 600/5
= 120
= 2 m/s
But this is not answer for the above question this is the mistake that most of the people doing in exams
Because it is m/sec but we need km/hr so we need to convert it.
km/hr= 2*(18/5)
= 72km/hr
2. If a person walks at 14 km/hr instead of 10km /hr, he would have walked 20km more. The actual distance traveled by him is? Ans: For the speed at 10 km/hr the assume distance D and as well as at 14 km/hr he would be walked 20km more So D2=D+20
Given Data : D =D T =T D2= D+20 Here time for the both speeds are same so we can use the formula
