    Question

    Assertion (A): Compound interest is always greater than simple interest for the same principal, time, and rate.

    Reason (R): Compound interest adds interest to principal periodically, thereby earning interest on interest.

    A.

    Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A

    B.

    Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

    C.

    A is true, but R is false

    D.

    A is false, but R is true

    Correct option is A

    Solution:
    Assertion (A) is TRUE. For the same principal, rate, and time, compound interest (CI) ≥ simple interest (SI). They become equal only when time = 1 year or rate = 0%.
    Reason (R) is TRUE. Compound interest works by adding interest to principal at regular intervals (annual, semi-annual, etc.), which creates interest on interest — the reason why CI > SI.
    R correctly explains A.
    Correct Answer: (a)
