Is the invested compounded? Daily? Weekly? Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-annually? It will make a difference.

Let's say no the the compounding. The interest earned in the firs year (only the first year) is B (0.056) where B is the initial investment. The two accounts will realize 34000 (0.056) = 1904 and 18000 (0.056) = 1008. I am sure you can take it from here.
