@Mr. Sawhney: I wrote the earlier email to provide a method of solving the problem at hand, not to spoon feed with exact numbers. If I write 15000 instead of 15, it should not be so difficult to find out the solution. Secondly, look at the below calculations to understand how the method of

Hi, First of all, sorry moderator. This will be the last E-mail from me on this thread. @Mr. Kanchwala I realise there is no benefit that anyone may gain by mugging up the values. I commented on your final answer to ensure that there is no confusion or ambiguity. I just revisited the solution

Pardon me for addressing this post to the list. I see that the solution suggested for question # 1b by Mr. S P Sharma isn't correct and it needs be known to fellow list members so that they can correct themselves. If one multiplies 15000 by 95% twice to get the population 2 years back then the

Hi, The solution as suggested by Mr. Sharma to 1B, is in fact, correct. Accidently, Mr. Kanchwala has taken 15 as 15000, resulting in the anomaly. Further, the solution to the second question as suggested is very complecated. An easy way of approaching this is by employing set theory. Let h

Yes, the set theory is easy but most of us have gone through mathes up to tenth level. That is why, the terms like a union b, or complementary etc., are new to such aspirants. - Original Message - From: Kartik Sawhney sawhney.kar...@gmail.com To: accessindia@accessindia.org.in Sent:

Hi, i'm of the opinion that there can not be a single formula to solve such problems. you can solve the first question as mentioned below: (a) population after two years : (15 * 105%) 105% = 165375. (b) population before two years : (15 * 95%) 95% = 135375. in simple words in situation

If you know the formula for the compound interest, take the present population as the principal and solve it. I am writing the formula for the same. Principal * (1+ rate /100) ^N times Putting this formula and substituting the numbers: 1,50,000 (105/100) ^2 = 165375. This is the answer of the
