Memory trick · Prashant Sir
इसे 'सर + plus' बोलिए: एक तैयार रहने वाले सर के पास चीज़ें हमेशा ज़रूरत से plus रहती हैं। Sur का मतलब ऊपर भी है, यानी ज़रूरत से ऊपर बचा हुआ = surplus।
Say it as 'sir plus': a well-prepared senior always keeps something plus, more than needed. Sur also means over, so surplus is what is over and above the need.
