Profit and loss a/c

Hello respected CA experts.... I am a CPT level student... I need to know why profit and loss a/c is called as "profit and loss a/c" and why not "profit or loss a/c" because anyway it reflects profit or loss for the financial year right.... can anybody help me to solve my confusion... please. thank you in advance....

Because it shows profits/gains on credit side and also expense/loss on debit side

Ok......If there is gross loss happens trading a/c's Is any possibility to net profit...???

Yeah possible if indirect income is more than indirect expense

OK thank you poornima madam...
