COMPOUND INTEREST

Compound Interest (C.I) is most common concept in our daily life. C.I. calculated annually, half-yearly and quarterly. C.I is the interest calculated on the principal and the interest accumulated over the previous period.
C.I = Amount − principal

Where P = Principal

R = Rate of Interest

n = no. of years

In competitive exams, the weitage of compound Interest is 2-3 marks. This topic is very useful in our daily routine as well. It is useful in Data Analysis and Data Sufficiency.
