Aptitude Topic: Simple Interest and Compound Interest Study Material Concept 1: Understanding important terms.
Concept 2: Understanding Simple interest & Compound interest.
Compound interest formula is given by: Compound interest = (Amount – Principal) Where the amount is given by, Where, A= Amount, P= Principal, R= Rate of interest and T= Time (in years) Derivation of compound interest formula: Concept 3: Compound Interest VS Simple Interest:
Concept 4: Understanding calculation of SI & CI though percentages:
Example 1: What is SI of Rs.800 on 5% per annum for 3 years? We can either put formula and calculate as below: SI= (800*5*3)/100 = 120 Or, As we know that in simple interest, interest is always calculated on principal so we can just calculate 15% (5% for 3 years) of 800 which is 120. Thus, in this way we don’t have to remember the formula and we can simply get answers by using concept of percentages. Example 2: What will be the CI obtained on an amount of Rs.4800 at the rate of 5% for 3 years? We can either put formula and calculate as below: Amount= 4800[1+ (5/100)]^3 = 5556.6 ; CI= (5556.6 – 4800)= 756.6 Or, We can simply use concept of multiplying factor learnt in percentages, since 4800 is increasing by 5% every year for constant 3 years, we can write it as 4800* (1.05)^3 = 5556.6 ; CI = (5556.6-4800) = 756.6. Thus, in this way we don’t have to remember the complex formula of CI and we easily solve problems based on CI through concept of multiplying factor learnt in session of percentage.
