Interest is the money paid for the use of money borrowed.  The amount  borrowed  is called principal. The interest  and principal  when summed up is amount.  

Interest on a certain  sum borrowed  for a certain  period is reckoned uniformly  then it is called interest 

I=(P*R*T)/100

AMOUNT = P+I

Q. Arrange P,Q and R in order :

P=223/222*224,      Q=224/223*225     R=1/224

in such questions, if you try to solve normally then its difficult to solve in 5 seconds. Whenever you see such type of questions you can see 22 is common to remove that now it reduces like

P=3/2*4   Q=4/3*5     R=1/4

P=3/8     Q=4/15       R=1/4

P=.375    Q=.26       R=.25

so P>Q>R

In this way, by mere observation, you will be able to solve questions of quantitative aptitudes.

Is there a help available for interpreting analysed data with Anova, Regression and correlation and probit analysis.

Students, today I will discuss a topic on preposition. Most of the times we often get confused with Preposition of Position- on / above / over. The confusion arises in their usage. Today I will share a concept with you and will make you understand their usage. after reading this you confusions will be over once for all.

See, a preposition is a word or group of words which are used before noun, pronoun, gerund etc to show its relation to another word in the sentence.

Now let us see these 3 prepositions- on / above / over and check their differences:

1. On- we use it when the following conditions are observed:

when the upper object:

•  takes a vertical position
• touches and rests itself on the lower object
• both objects are stationary
• usually the upper object is comparatively smaller than the lower object **

* Note- Also in case of flat surfaces like a wall- preposition 'on' can be used.

** Also, try to observe that mostly the upper object is smaller in size than the lower object. (and this is the reason why we keep smaller objects 'on' the larger objects and use preposition- 'on')

examples-

He is standing on the roof-top.

Mobile is on the table

She hung the calendar on the wall (calendar and wall are touching each other).

The clock is hanging on the wall.

The bird is sitting on the tree

2. Above- we use it when the following conditions are observed:

• when the two objects (upper and lower) are not touching each other
• vertical position is not necessary
• and most importantly the upper object should not have sides falling, i.e. it should be a 2 dimensional (2D) object. 
• size of the two objects doesn't matter.

* Note- Above is used for showing the comparison of heights, temperature, level,  no. of students, etc. It shows 'more than'.

examples-

The sky is above our heads.

The fan is running above us.

She hung the calendar above the desk (calendar and desk are not touching each other).

the bird is flying above the tree.

The clouds were above the city.

Today temperature is above normal (comparison).

The river is flowing above the danger sign (comparison)

3. Over- we use it when the following conditions are observed:

• when the upper object is larger enough to cover the lower object.
• it should have sides falling on the lower smaller object, i.e. it should be a 3-dimensional object (3D).
• The upper object takes a vertical position, i.e. vertically over the smaller object.
• It doesn’t matter whether the two objects touch each other or not.

* Note- 'Over'  also shows Movement, i.e. if the smaller object shows a movement across another object then also over is used.

examples-

The roof of the room is over us (roof is Larger enough to cover us and 3D).

Kindly spread the cloth cover over the table. (when you spread the cloth cover then its sides fall over the table making a 3D shape).

Spread the bed sheet over the bed.

The bird flew over the lake. [it crossed the lake from one point to another - movement).

They held a large umbrella over her head. [umbrella has 3D parabolic sides falling over her head].

The bridge is over the river (bridge has 3D shape and is larger enough to cover the 'width' of the river).

She is walking over the bridge (walking from one point to another - movement).

Take a mock test online:

The test will make you aware of the pattern being followed in different sections, level of difficulty and your current status. To know ‘Where do I stand?’ is extremely crucial before you put in your time and efforts preparing for a competitive exam.

Go slow but go in depth.

Once you’re done with the analysis part, you should then work on the fundamentals.

A. Quantitative Aptitude

Learn Speed Maths tricks, do a lot of mental Math in everyday’s life and make yourself able to calculate fast.

Get an in-depth understanding of chapters such as Simplification, Average, Percentage, Ratio, Profit and Loss and Data Interpretation. Once you become sure about the concepts and your ability to solve them fast try bringing command over other chapters. Now you can solve these with my methods formula free.

B. Reasoning Aptitude

The topics like Syllogism, Machine Input Output, Puzzle Test, etc. carry high weight-age as far as an IBPS PO exam is concerned and with one year in hand, you can bring an absolute command over these topics provided you know the approach. Do not get worried about the verbal reasoning topics as they take only 1 or 2 months’ preparation to gain command over.

C. English Language

For last few years the level of difficulty in this particular section has been increasing and to clear the cut-off, you must be a good reader of English Language. Make a habit of reading different pieces of writings; News Articles, Journals, Magazines, etc. Besides, you’ll to work on your grammar as well.

D. General Awareness

Preparing for this section seems most cumbersome to most of the students as one has to store a lot of events, dates, names in one’s mind with daily happenings at the National and International arena. But I would advise you not to do a thorough study for this section as it will consume a lot of your precious time.

E. Computer Knowledge

You need not be a Computer wizard to clear this section to follow our computer section and once yo

you are done with its contents, practise a lot of sample questions either online or offline.

Enrol on a Test Series

Once you are done with the concept building and practice part the time comes when you need to validate your performance in a real-time test scenario. Enrol on a quality test series and save three days for 1 test. The first day when you take the test and next two days to analyse your performance, of your strong or weak areas or to rectify past mistakes. It’s highly important not to repeat mistakes in future exams else it may cost you dear specifically in IBPS PO exams, and your rank may suffer a great deal if you attempt questions wrongly.

Finally, I would like to state that, if you start preparing for the IBPS PO exam, you have great chances of cracking it. Because you start early, you always have the upper hand over your peers but make sure you study what’s relevant and important to you as we always stress,“Cracking a competitive exam is more about strategy than sheer hard-work.”

Best of luck!
