Smile easy solving calculation - 29-04-2005, 03:15 AM

whenever we need to do calculation of a square where at last we having the digit 5 then we can easily caalculate............

25*25=625 i.e. multiply the 10th place number i.e. 2 with its suceeding number i.e.3 .......2*3=6 and multiply 5*5=25 that means 625


85*85= 7225 i.e. 8*9=72 5*5=25 i.e. 7225


hugssssss.......

3------------- -----3S--------------- Upto 3S+3X+
4--------------------4S ------------ Upto 4S=6X++
5--------------------5S ------------ Upto 5S+10X+++
6-------------------6S ------------ Upto 6S+15X+++

“++” it roughly takes a value of Rs. 2 for Rs 100 of X.

Q. the difference between CI and SI is Rs 9848 at 8% interest put out for 4 yrs. What ids the principle?

Method-
For 4 yrs. The value that corresponds is 6X++
So 6X++ = 9848
Here we divide the amt. by 100 and ignore the decimal part so we get 98 and now we subtract 2 from it and now we get 96
So 6x =96 , x =16
8% of SI= 16
So 1% of SI = Rs. 2.
100% of SI =200
200 is 8 % of principle therefore the principle is 2500.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sample- What is the interest on Rs. 17250 for 3 yrs. At8% interest compounded annually?

Method- 8*3= 24
(8* /100= 0.64.
0.64*3= 1.92+ (approx. 2)
so 24+2=26%
26% of 17250= 4490
( here all the calculations can be done mentally and approximated, we generally do not need to write. This saves time. And we always have ans. options in the exam, so we can get the ans. closest to it, put we need practice for this)
Can sumbody plz explain the working method for this... especially the first Question?
Plz help...Had asked this question before but with not much help.
Thanks.
Take care


The Best is Yet To Come!

Re: Neha's Fundu Section - 12-05-2005, 08:56 PM

Hi everyone,

Saw this section just now. An excellent peice of work. Like others I too feel that I shud have been a Pagalguy Memeber b4 cat 2004. Any way, better late than never.

I am having difficulty in understanding a particular portion, which i have highlighted. It wud be a gr8 help if anyone cud throw light on it.

Example- A horse and a carriage were bought for Rs. 12000. the carriage was sold at a loss of 10% , horse was sold at a profit of 20%. Together I received Rs.13500. what is the C.P. and S.P. of each.

Method-Assume everything to be a horse, so I shud have sold everything at 20% profit.20% of 12000+12000= 14400.But I received Rs. 13500 only that makes a difference of 900 or Rs. 900 are less. This also makes a difference of 30% coz we calculated 40% profit (20+20%), but we had [+20%+(-10%)]=10%
I calculated 30% more on carriage.

30% or carriage=900
therefore 100%=3000
so now we have the individual cost of the horse, the carriage is for 9000/-and the S.P. can b calculated now.

We have similar questions in many forms which can b done by applying the above concept.

Bye for now.
