Key Topics to Revise

1

Core ideas and definitions

  • Principal is the money borrowed from a bank or lender.
  • Interest is the extra money paid for using the lender's money.
  • Amount is the total money paid to the lender at the end of the specified period.
2

Worked patterns that repeat in exams

  • Yearly compounding follows a repeating pattern: calculate interest on the current principal, add it to get the amount, then use that amount as the next principal.
  • Half-yearly compounding follows the same pattern, but each period is half a year.
  • When rates change every year, solve each year separately with the given rate.
3

Key examples to remember

  • In yearly compounding, if principal is ₹1,000 at 10% for 3 years, the amounts become ₹1,100, ₹1,210, and ₹1,331.
  • For ₹8,000 at 5% for 2 years, the first year's interest is ₹400 and the second year's interest is ₹420, so the final amount is ₹8,820 and C.I. is ₹820.
  • For ₹10,000 at 8% compounded half-yearly for 1 year, the amount becomes ₹10,816 and C.I. is ₹816.
