Answer:

After 10 years the investment A will be bigger than investment B.

Explanation:

In Investment A, 50 increases each year by 8% and in investment B, 60 increases by 3 each year.

If after x years the investment A will be equal to investment B, then we can write the equation as


50(1 + (8 * x)/(100)) = 60 + 3x

⇒ 50 + 4x = 60 + 3x

x = 10

Therefore, after 10 years the investment A will be bigger than investment B. (Answer)
