Answer any one question in this section.

7. At the beginning of this year, Paul and Thomas deposited RM2000 and RM400
respectively in a bank. They receive an interest of 3% per annum. Paul does not make any
additional deposit nor withdrawal, whereas , Thomas continues to deposit RM400 at the
beginning of each of the subsequent years without any withdrawal.

(a) Calculate the total savings of Paul at the end of year. [3 marks]

(b) Calculate the total savings of Thomas at the end of year. [7 marks]
(c) Determine in which year the total savings of Thomas exceeds the total savings of Paul .
