CAT 2024 Exam - Profit & Loss Questions With Solutions, LR & DI | Day 9

Part-1: Quantitative Aptitude for CAT 2024 Topic: Profit and Loss

Today, we are here with the extended part of percentage, i.e., Profit and Loss . The Percentage is the basic building block of Arithmetic. Profit and Loss CAT questions are one of the most important topics for the CAT Exam. To solve the CAT Profit and Loss questions, you must first understand the basics of Profit and Loss . We can understand the basics well with the help of the profit triangle, as shown below:

1695129572950

  • The price at which we purchase something is the "cost price" (CP).

  • The price that we mark or print on the article is the marked price (MP).

  • The price at which we sell something is its selling price (SP).

  • Marked Up % = (MP-CP) x100/CP

  • Discount % = (MP-SP) x100/MP

  • Profit % = (SP-CP) x100/CP

If SP is less than CP, then profit is loss.

CAT Profit And ’Profit and Loss Type:

  • Questions involve direct calculation to find profit%, Discount% or Markup%.

  • Questions in which values are given in terms of profit%, Discount% or Markup%.

You have to prepare each type of Arithmetic question separately for a better understanding of the concept.

CAT Quant Questions With Solutions / Profit and Loss CAT previous year questions

The two previous year CAT questions on Profit and Loss are given below for a better understanding. The arithmetic section caries one of the greatest weightage in CAT arithmetic questions:

Q1. If a seller gives a discount of 15% on the retail price, she still makes a profit of 2%. Which of the following ensures that she makes a profit of 20%?[CAT Question Paper 2017 Slot 1]

  1. Give a discount of 5% on the retail price

  2. Give a discount of 2% on the retail price.

  3. Increase the retail price by 2%.

  4. Sell at retail price

Ans: D

15 % discount means If MP = 100; SP = 85

2 % profit means If CP = 100; SP = 102

In both SP should be same, so make them equal and we get

SP= 510, CP= 500 and MP = 600.

For 20% profit SP =600 which is equal to MP (Retail Price).

CAT Arithmetic Questions:

Q2. On selling a pen at 5% loss and a book at 15% gain, Karim gains Rs. 7. If he sells the pen at 5% gain and the book at 10% gain, he gains Rs. 13. What is the cost price of the book in Rupees? [CAT Question Paper 2019, Slot 1]

  1. 85

  2. 95

  3. 80

  4. 100

Profit and Loss for CAT with solutions

Ans: (3)

Let CP of pen = 100x; CP of book = 100y

Case 1

-5x + 15y = 7

Case 2

5x + 10y = 13

On solving both equations y = 4/5

CP of a book = 100x(4/5) = Rs 80

Prerequisite Before Practising CAT Profit and Loss Questions :

To prepare this topic for the CAT exam, students must have knowledge of

Tips to Prepare for CAT exam Profit and Loss questions

  1. Learning conversions from Application of Percentage to fractions is important for this topic also.

  2. Practice questions based on Application of Percentage well.

  3. You can use the following tricks to solve the particular type of question:

  • If two articles were sold at an equal price with a profit of a% on one article while a loss of a% on another. Then, there will always be a loss of a2/100 %.

  • If n articles were purchased at equal prices and sold at different prices. Then, net profit % is the average of all profit %. Loss % will be treated as negative of profit %.

  • In the questions of true weight/ false weight, the Selling Price has always been calculated on the reading while the Cost price has always been calculated on actual weight. After that compare the final selling price and final cost price to find profit or loss percent.

  • In the questions of successive discounts, use the concept of the successive percentage change.

Part-2: Logical Reasoning and Data Interpretation: Topic: Data Interpretation (Miscellaneous)

Previously, we have discussed general types of data interpretation. In this article, we are going to discuss the miscellaneous types of data interpretations for the CAT exam, like

  • Multi-Layered Pie Chart

  • Double Bar Graphs

  • Logic Based DI (most common in recent years)

  • Combination of two or more types of graphs in a single DI

i.e. table with a pie chart, line graph with bar graph, etc.

Such graphs are used to represent more data on a single graph.

In the CAT Exam and other management entrance exams, data interpretation is a must-come topic.

Preparing DI involves three basic steps:

  • Understanding Charts and Graphs

  • Understanding the logic or concept (More required in multi-layered DI and Caselet DI)

  • Be good at calculations.

Questions Based On Data Interpretation From CAT Previous Year Papers Comprehension:

The multi-layered pie-chart below shows the sales of LED television sets for a big retail electronics outlet during 2016 and 2017. The outer layer shows the monthly sales during this period, with each label showing the month followed by the sales figure of that month. For some months, the sales figures are not given in the chart. The middle-layer shows quarter-wise aggregate sales figures (in some cases, aggregate quarter-wise sales numbers are not given next to the quarter). The innermost layer shows annual sales. It is known that the sales figures during the three months of the second quarter (April, May, June) of 2016 form an arithmetic progression, as do the three monthly sales figures in the fourth quarter (October, November, December) of that year. [CAT Question Paper 2018]

1695129573205

Q1. What is the percentage increase in sales in December 2017 as compared to the sales in December 2016?

  1. 22.22

  2. 38.46

  3. 50.00

  4. 28.57

Solution: (4)

Sales in December 2017 = (500 – 150 -170) = 180

Sales in Q4 of 2016 is in AP:

Sales in October 2016 = 100; Sales in November 2016 = 100 + x; Sales in December 2016 = 100 +2x;

So, 100 + 100 + x + 100 + 2x = 360

X = 20

Sales in December 2016 = 100 +2x20 = 140

Increase in sales in December 2017 as compared to december 2016 = 40x100/140 = 28.56%

Q2. In which quarter of 2017 was the percentage increase in sales from the same quarter of 2016 the highest?
