Earns more interest than P
(ii) Q earns less interest than P
(iii) Q earns the same interest as P
To find the answer, we can set up two equations using the formulas for simple interest and compound interest.
For P:
Principal (P) = x (amount invested)
Rate (R) = 6% or 0.06
Time (T) = 6 years
Simple Interest (SI) = P * R * T
CI = P * (1 + R)^T
For Q:
Principal (Q) = y (amount invested)
Rate (R) = 6% or 0.06
Time (T) = 6 years
Simple Interest (SI) = Q * R * T
CI = Q * (1 + R)^T
We are given that the total amount for both P and Q is Rs. 65,000, so we can set up the following equation:
P + Q = 65,000
Now, we need to compare the interest earned by P and Q. To do this, we can compare the total amount earned (principal + interest) by P and Q.
For P:
Total amount earned by P = P + SI = P + P * R * T = P(1 + R * T)
For Q:
Total amount earned by Q = Q + CI = Q + Q * (1 + R)^T
Since both P and Q earn the same total amount of Rs. 65,000, we can set up the following equation:
P(1 + R * T) = Q + Q * (1 + R)^T
Simplifying the equation, we get:
P + P * R * T = Q + Q * (1 + R)^T
P * R * T = Q * (1 + R)^T - Q
P * R * T = Q * [(1 + R)^T - 1]
Since P = 65,000 - Q, we can substitute this into the equation:
(65,000 - Q) * R * T = Q * [(1 + R)^T - 1]
Simplifying further, we get:
65,000 * R * T - Q * R * T = Q * [(1 + R)^T - 1]
65,000 * R * T = Q * [(1 + R)^T - 1] + Q * R * T
65,000 * R * T = Q * [(1 + R)^T - 1 + R * T]
Dividing both sides by Q, we get:
65,000 * R * T / Q = (1 + R)^T - 1 + R * T
Since R = 0.06 and T = 6, we can substitute these values:
65,000 * 0.06 * 6 / Q = (1 + 0.06)^6 - 1 + 0.06 * 6
Simplifying further, we get:
23.4 = (1.06)^6 - 1 + 0.36
23.4 = 1.41851 - 1 + 0.36
23.4 = 0.77851 + 0.36
23.4 = 1.13851
This is not true, so our initial assumption that Q earns more interest
