Plug in values for m. When m = 1, Quantity B is larger. When m = 12, Quantity A is larger.

Hence option A is correct.

Hi shikha0611,


The total value of 100 dollars after it is invested for m months at 8 percent simple annual interest=\(\$100(1+\frac{0.08}{12}*m)\)

The Quantity B is = \(\$100(1+\frac{0.08}{m})\)
