A boy incurs 5% loss by selling a book for Rs. 1000. At what price should the book be sold to earn 5 % profit?
Let the new selling price be Rs. x.
According to the question,
=> (100 - loss %) /1000 = (100 + gain %) / x
=> (100 - 5) / 1000 = (100 + 5) / x
=> x = (105 × 1000) / 95 = 105000 / 95
=> x = 1105.26.

At the same time, banks also needed to devote focused attention to operational efficiency in order to contain their transaction costs.

The analysis also reveals that PSBs and private sector banks in India did not differ significantly in terms of their efficiency measures. Foreign banks, on the other hand, recorded higher efficiency as compared with their Indian counterparts.Prudential norms were initiated in the banking sector with a view to |
