A small change in a question’s wording can completely change the Profit and Loss calculation. You might need to find the original Cost Price from a loss percentage, compare two transactions, or calculate the actual profit when a shopkeeper sells less than the stated quantity. These variations make it important to understand the relationships between prices and percentages rather than rely on a single formula.
These PW videos cover different stages of preparation, from understanding the basics to solving tricky dealer-based questions and practising under time limits. Start with the concept lessons, move to application-based problems, and use the practice sessions to identify calculation errors. This progression helps you recognise familiar question patterns and choose the right solving method during SSC Maths exams.
This class introduces the core terms used in Profit and Loss, including Cost Price (CP), Selling Price (SP), Maximum Retail Price (MRP), and Discount. Through buying and selling examples, the lesson explains profit and loss percentages, changes in selling conditions, and situations where a loss can turn into a profit. Interactive questions, quick calculations, and error checks help reinforce the concepts.
If you are beginning the chapter or need to revisit the fundamentals, use this video to understand how the different prices relate to each other and cover the basic Profit and Loss concepts in your SSC Maths syllabus. Make sure you can identify the given values and the quantity being asked for before moving to more complicated questions.
This revision class brings together challenging Profit and Loss problems involving loss calculated on Selling Price, relationships between Cost Price and Selling Price, comparisons between article rates, and transactions with different buying or selling prices. It also covers equal-profit-and-loss situations, mixed transactions, and changes in prices. Ratio methods, mental calculations, and option elimination feature in the solutions.
Use this session once you are comfortable with the basic formulas. Attempt each question independently before watching the explanation, and pay attention to how the method changes with the information provided. This can help you improve both question interpretation and calculation speed.
This class moves beyond standard profit and loss calculations to application-based problems. Topics include dishonest dealers, reduced weights, percentage changes in Cost Price and Selling Price, partial sales, successive discounts, and comparisons between profit and loss. The examples also use average-based reasoning, fraction conversions, quick comparisons, and interactive checks to reinforce the methods.
Watch this lesson after practising ordinary profit and loss questions. Focus on identifying hidden conditions, especially when the stated weight differs from the actual quantity sold. These details can change the answer even when the percentage calculation appears straightforward.
This class uses timed questions, polls, and worked explanations to practise solving Maths problems under exam conditions. The question set includes Age, Distance, Simple Interest, Average, Divisibility, Natural Numbers, Arithmetic Progression, and Election-related problems. Although it is not limited to Profit and Loss, the session allows you to practise option selection, calculation methods, and time management across mixed topics.
Use this video after revising individual chapters to check how well you perform when question types change. Review incorrect answers after the session and separate mistakes caused by calculation from those caused by choosing the wrong method.
This lesson focuses on dishonest shopkeeper problems involving short weights, actual quantities, Cost Price, Selling Price, profit, and loss. It also covers converting percentages into fractions and solving questions involving MRP, discounts, and Cost Price-to-MRP comparisons. Step-by-step calculations, answer options, and student interactions help explain how to approach these problems.
Choose this class if questions involving incorrect weights or multiple price values tend to slow you down. Practise identifying the actual quantity sold and the correct base for each percentage before calculating the result. This habit can help prevent errors in application-based SSC Maths questions.
Begin with the relationship between Cost Price, Selling Price, MRP, and Discount, then practise percentage-based questions before moving to dishonest dealer and short-weight problems. Use the mixed Maths session to test your speed, and revisit the questions you answered incorrectly. Regular practice with SSC Maths PYQs can also help you recognise recurring question formats and prepare more confidently for the exam.
