Tamir deposits $100,000 in a basic savings account that yields b% simple annual interest. At the same time, he deposits $100,000 in a special account that yields s% interest, compounded annually. At the end of two years, is the amount of interest earned by the special account greater than the amount of interest earned by the basic account?

1. b < 1.05s
2. The amount of interest Tamir earns from the basic account during the first year is greater than $11,000
