Answer :

Answer:

a) B

b) B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's calculate the amount in each account after one and two weeks to see which has more money:

Account A:

Starts with $5000.

Doesn't change weekly (grows annually).

So, after one week and two weeks, Account A still has $5000.

Account B:

Starts with $1.

Doubles each week.

After one week, it'll have $1×2

= $2.

After two weeks, it'll have $2×2

= $4.

Comparison:

After one week, Account B has more money ($2) than Account A ($5000).

After two weeks, Account B still has more money ($4) than Account A ($5000).

Therefore, even though Account A has a much larger initial amount, Account B's exponential growth makes it have more money after one and two weeks.

Note:

Here Bank didn't give interest weekly.
