First let's calculation

Plan A = 1000 dollars to be invested in an account that pays 100 dollars per year. (1000 + 100 = 1100 dollars in a year)

Plab B = 1000 dollars to be invested in an account that pays 5% interests per year (1000 *.05 = 50 = > 1000 + 50 = 1050 dollars per year)

Thus the correct answer is Plan A will be worth more than plan B after two years.
