Answer 1

Answer:

The amount of 120000 should be deposit in X account in the bank as it is giving more amount of compound interest.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given in the question we have two accounts that is X and Y.

In X account the rate of interest is 8% per annum semi annually compound interest that means 16% per annum for year.

In Y accounts the rate of interest is 12% per annum compound interest for year.

hence, if we deposit the Rs. 120000 in bank with account X then

120000×16%= 19200 [ first year interest]

139200×16%=22272[second year interest]

total amount of compound interest  = Rs 41472.

now if we deposit in Y account then

120000×12%=14400

134400×12%=16128

total amount of compound interest =Rs 30528

now we can see that we are getting more interest amount in X account compare to Y.

hence, depositing the Rs.120000 in account X will be beneficial.
