Answer #1

According to the question,

It is not given that whether simple interest or compound interest needs to apply.

So as per simple interest,

SI= PTR/100

= $1*50*10/100

= $ 5

Amount A= P+SI= $1+$5=$6

As per compound interest,

A= P(1+R/100)^n

= $1(1+10/100)^50

=$1(1.01)^50

=$1*1.6446

=$1.6446 =$2 (rounded to nearest integer)

Hence according to compound interest he will receive $2 after 50 years.

All the best for your exam!
