I have ubuntu 16.04 LTS in my Dell Laptop.

I see my .profile file for current user. It has something like this written, 

# ~/.profile: executed by the command interpreter for login shells.
# This file is not read by bash(1), if ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login
# exists.
# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files for examples.

However, when I try to open this file, 

luvpreet@DHARI-Inspiron-3542:~$ cd  /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/
bash: cd: /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files: No such file or directory

I guess the startup-files might have moved on to some different path. Please explain Where I can see that which files are executed on starting the terminal ?

The startup-files mentioned are not part of the standard bash installation, but are provided by a separate bash-doc package. If you wish to examine them you will need to install bash-doc, either from you favorite GUI package manager or from the command line e.g.

sudo apt install bash-doc
