Explanation

Interest for the first year is 70000 * 0.035 = 2450. The amount after the first year is 72450. Interest for the second year is 72450 * 0.035 = 2535.75.

AI explanation

First calculate the interest for the initial year using the simple interest formula, which is (70000 * 3.5 * 1) / 100, equaling 2450. The principal for the second year becomes 72450. The simple interest on this new principal is (72450 * 3.5 * 1) / 100, which results in 2535.75.
