DETERMINERS/fixing words

Definition of Determiners - Determiners are those words that are prefixed

before nouns to determine their meaning. They are used before nouns and the

adjective that describes the noun. They can be divided into the following types:

2) Demonstrative Determiners - this, that, these, those

3) Possessive Determiners - my, your, our, his, her, its, their

4) Quantitative Determiners - some, any, much, many, little, few, less

5) Numerical Determiners - all, each, every, both, neither, either, other,

another, enough, most, several, one, two, etc.

Demonstrative Determiners

The demonstrative determiners in the English language are this, that, these,

those.

i.The demonstrative determiner ‘That’ (Plural- Those) is used to avoid repetition

of a preceding noun. The rule can be understood with the help of the following

example sentences -

i.The demonstrative determiner ‘This (Plural- These)’ is used to refer to a person/

persons or thing/ things near to the speaker. The rule can be understood with

the help of the following example sentences -

Few examples of Possessive determiners are as follows -

Quantitative determiners Some

i. ‘Some’ is generally used in affirmative sentences with uncountable and plural

countable nouns. The rule can be understood with the help of the following

example sentences -

i.It can also be used in question where ‘Yes’ is expected as an answer. The rule

can be understood with the help of the following example sentences -

• Would you like some tea?

Could you give me some food?

i.Any

ii.It is used in questions when you want to ask whether something exists or not. It

is also used in negative sentences where we want to say that something does

not exist. The rule can be understood with the help of the following example

sentences -

i.More, Less and Fewer

ii.They are mostly used as comparative determiners. ‘More’ is used before plural

and uncountable nouns (with than) to refer to a quantity or amount which is

greater than another quantity or amount. It is also used to refer to an additional

quantity of something. Less is used to refer to an amount that is less than

another amount. Fewer is used where we refer to a group of things that are

smaller than another group before plural nouns. The rule can be understood

Numerical Determiners

i.All

All is mostly used with a plural verb when followed by a countable plural noun.

It includes all the persons or things of a particular kind. Another rule for it is that

it requires a singular verb when it is followed by an uncountable noun. The rule

can be understood with the help of the following example sentences -

• All children cannot be treated in the same manner.

i.Both

ii.This determiner is mostly used to talk about two things of the same kind. It is

used to show that two persons or things are involved rather than one and is

often followed by ‘and’. The rule can be understood with the help of the

following example sentences -

• Both Raman and Raghav went out for a movie.

He held oranges in both his hands.

i.Either and Neither

These determiners usually refer to two persons or things but show that one out

of the two is or is not involved in a situation. Neither is used mostly with

singular nouns and by either, it can mean both of two things especially when it

is used with ‘end’ or ’side’. The rule can be understood with the help of the

following example sentences -

Take either side of the bed, both are the same.

Neither of them is speaking the truth.

i.Each and Every

These determiners are used to refer to all members of a group, persons or

things. When we talk about members as individuals, we use ‘each’ and when we

make a statement about all of them we use ‘every’. They are to be prefixed

before a singular countable noun and the verb attached with them should be

singular. The rule can be understood with the help of the following example

sentences -

• Each and every board member was present in the meeting.

Today a laptop and air conditioner can be seen in each house.

Every child is said to have his/ her own special abilities.

i.Enough

say that there is something that is sufficient and enough as much as needed.

The rule can be understood with the help of the following example sentences -

• The hotel had enough rooms for all the guests.

They did not have enough storage to store all that they had

ordered for.

i.Most

‘Most’ is used to indicate nearly all of an amount or of a group. The rule can be

understood with the help of the following example sentences -

• Most of the people do not recover from this fatal disease.

Most of the people in India are working class.

i.Several

It is usually used to indicate an imprecise number that is not very large but

more than two. The rule can be understood with the help of the following

court.

CLASS: 5 SUBJECT: MATHEMATICS

PROFIT AND LOSS

The following formulae are used to solve different types of word problems on

profit and loss.

1. Profit = SP – CP

2. CP = SP – Profit

3. SP = CP + Profit

4. Loss = CP – SP

5. SP = CP- Loss

6. CP = SP +Loss

Here are some examples for your understanding.

1. Nimmi sold her television for 30,000 at a loss of 5,000.Find the

cost price of the television.

Solution:

Here, S.P = 30,000

Loss = 5,000

C.P = S.P + loss

= 30,000 + 5,000

= 35,000

2. Reena sold a carpet for 10,000 at a profit of 2,000. Find the price

at which she bought it.

Solution:

Here, S.P = 10,000

Profit = 2,000

C.P = S.P - Profit

= 10,000 – 2,000

= 8,000

3. Ravi has an Alto car worth 2,50,000 and he wants to sell it at profit

of 50,000. What should the selling price be?

Solution:

Here, C.P = 2,50,000

Profit = 50,000

S.P = C.P + Profit

= 2,50,000 + 50,000

= 3,00,000

4. Sonu bought a laptop of 1,50,000 at a loss of 10,000. Find selling

price of the laptop.

Solution:

Here, C.P = 1,50,000

Loss = 10,000

S.P = C.P - loss

= 1,50,000 - 10,000

= 1,40,000

Profit percent or Loss percent

Profit percent and loss percent are always calculated on the cost price.

1. Profit % = 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑡

𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 x 100

2. Loss % = 𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑠

𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 x 100

1. Find gain or Loss per cent when:

(a) Cost Price = 350 and Selling Price = 400

Here SP> CP ( There is profit )

Profit = SP – CP

= 400 - 350

= 50

Profit % = 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑓𝑖𝑡

𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 x 100

= 142

7 %

(b) Cost Price = 720 and Loss = 63

Loss % = 𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑠

𝑐𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 x 100

= 35

4 = 8

4 %

(c) Selling Price = 1518 and Loss = 132 ,find C.P

(d) Selling price = 540 and Gain = 60, find C.P

(e) Cost Price = 250 and Selling Price = 235, find gain or loss

(c) Cost Price = 300 and Profit = 75, find S.P

The following word problems are for your understanding.

1. Ron bought an almirah for 6250 and spent 375 on its repairs. Then, he

sold it for 6890. Find his gain or loss per cent.

Solution:

CP of the almirah = 6250,

Overhead expenses = 375.

Total cost price = (6250 + 375)

= 6625.

Selling price = 6890.

Since, (SP) > (CP), Ron gains.

Gain = (6890 - 6625)

= 265.

Gain% = [(gain / total CP) × 100] %

= [(265 / 6625) × 100] %

= 4 %

2. Ron purchased a table for 1260 and due to some scratches on its top he

had to sell it for 1197. Find his loss per cent.

Solution:

CP= 1260 and SP = 1197.

Since (SP) < (CP), Ron makes a loss.

Loss = (1260 - 1197)

= 63.

Loss % = [(loss / CP) × 100] %

= [(63 / 1260) × 100] %

= 5%
