This is part of our
GRE Math Essentials project is the best complement to our
Official GRE Quant Book. It provides a cutting-edge, in-depth overview of all the math concepts to achieve 170 in the Quantitative Reasoning portion of the GRE. The book still remains our hallmark. However, the following chapters will give you a lot of tips, tricks, and shortcuts to make your quant preparation more robust and solid.
Simple InterestPrincipal or Sum : The money borrowed or lent out for a certain period is called the principal or the sum.
Interest : Extra money paid for using other’s moeny is called interest.
Simple Interest : If the interest on a sum borrowed for a certain period is reckoned uniformly, then it is called simple interest.
Formulae: Let Principal = P, Rate = R% per annum and time = T years. Then, S.I. \(= \left( \begin{array}{cc} \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \end{array} \right)\)
Compound InterestIn such case, the amount after first unit of time becomes the principal for the second unit, the amount after second unit becomes the principal for the third unit and so on. After a specified period, the difference between the amount and the money borrowed is called the
Compound Interest (abbreviated as C.I.) for that period.
Let Principal = P, Rate = R% per annum, Time = n years.
I When interest is compounded Annually:\( Amount = P \left( \begin{array}{cc} 1+\frac{ R}{100} \end{array} \right)^n\)
II: When interest is compounded Half-yearly : \(Amount = P \left[ \begin{array}{cc|r} 1 + \frac{\frac{R}{2}}{100} \end{array} \right]^{2n}\)
III: When interest is compounded Quarterly : \(Amount = P \left[ \begin{array}{cc|r} 1 + \frac{\frac{R}{4}}{100} \end{array} \right]^{4n}\)
IV: When interest is compounded Annually but time is in fraction, say \(3 \frac{2}{5}\) years
\(Amount = P \left( \begin{array}{cc} 1+\frac{ R}{100} \end{array} \right)^3\) \( \times\) \( \left[ \begin{array}{cc|r} 1 + \frac{\frac{2}{5 }R}{100} \end{array} \right]\)
Ex 1. A certain sum of money at C.I. amounts in 2 years to Rs 811.2 and in 3 years to Rs 843.65. Find the sum of money.
Sol. Since \(A = P (1 + \frac{R}{100})^n ⇒ 811.2 = P (1 + \frac{R}{100})^2\) .....(1) and \(843.65 = P (1 + \frac{R}{100})^3\) ....(2)
On dividing (2) by (1), we get : \(\frac{843.65}{811.2} = (1 + \frac{R}{100}) ⇒ 1.04 = (1 + \frac{R}{100}) ⇒ \frac{R}{100} = 0.04 ⇒ R = 4\)
Now, putting R = 4 into (1), we get \(811.2 = P (1 + \frac{4}{100})^2 ⇒ 811.2 = P (1.04)^2 ⇒ P = \frac{811.2 }{(1.04)^2} = 750 ⇒\) The sum of money is Rs 750. Ans.
Ex 2. Find the compound interest on Rs 4500 for 3 years at 6% p.a. interest being payable half yearly.
Sol. \(A = P (1 + \frac{R}{100})^{2n} = 4500 (1 + \frac{6}{200})^6 = 4500 (1.03)^6 = 5373 ⇒\) Compound interest = Rs (5373 – 4500) = Rs 873
Ex 3. If the population of a town increases at 6 % p.a., but decreases due to emigration by 1% p.a. , what is the next % increase in the population in 3 years?
Sol. ⇒ Say the population before the increase in \(P_0\) and after 3 years is \(P_3\)
So \(P_n=P_0 \left( \begin{array}{cc} 1 \pm \frac{r}{100} \end{array} \right)^n\)
Net increase in population = r= Growth rate - Emigration rate =6-1=5%
\(P_3=100 \left( \begin{array}{cc} 1 + \frac{(6-1)}{100} \end{array} \right)^3 = 100 \left( \begin{array}{cc} 1 + \frac{1}{20} \end{array} \right)^3 = 100 \left( \begin{array}{cc} \frac{21}{20} \end{array} \right)^3 = 100 \times 2.1 \times 2.1\times 2.1=115.76\)%
Therefore, the net % increase \(=115.76-100=15.76 \)%
Ex 4. In a population of a town increases at 5% for the first 2 years, increases at 2% for the next 3 years , and then decreases at 2% for the next 2 years , what is the next % increase in the population in 7 years ?
Sol. ⇒ \(P_n=P_0 \left( \begin{array}{cc} 1 \pm \frac{r_1}{100} \end{array} \right)^{n_1} \left( \begin{array}{cc} 1 \pm \frac{r_2}{100} \end{array} \right)^{n_2} \left( \begin{array}{cc} 1 \pm \frac{r_3}{100} \end{array} \right)^{n_3}\)
\(P_7=100 \left( \begin{array}{cc} 1 + \frac{5}{100} \end{array} \right)^{2} \left( \begin{array}{cc} 1 + \frac{2}{100} \end{array} \right)^{3} \left( \begin{array}{cc} 1 - \frac{2}{100} \end{array} \right)^{2} = 112.37\)
Therefore, the net % increase \(= 112.37-100=12.37\) %
