Hello
Relative = connected to a noun. As in: "Which cake?" which is the relative pronoun.
Interrogative is connected to a question. As in: "What cake?" what is the interrogative pronoun.
Explanation:
"A relative pronoun is used to connect a clause or phrase to a noun or pronoun. You see them used everyday with the most common relative pronouns being: who, whom, which, whoever, whomever, whichever, and that."
An interrogative pronoun is a pronoun used in order to ask a question. Often it has no antecedent because the antecedent is unknown. That is why the question is being asked! In modern English there are five interrogative pronouns: what, which, who, whom, and whose.

RELATIVE PRONOUNS
1. Relative clauses link one sentence to another sentence by replacing a shared word with who/which/that:
# The man who lost his wallet could not buy his groceries.
- (the man lost his wallet); (the man could not buy his groceries).
# The car which ran over my trashcan belongs to my neighbor.
- (the car ran over my trashcan); (the car belongs to my neighbor)
2. This means that when who/which is after another noun, and is standing in for that noun in a different clause, you are dealing with a relative pronoun.
INTERROGATIVE PRONOUNS
1. There are (usually) at the beginning of a question, so there should be a question mark at the end.
# Who is it you want?
# Which clerk processed your order?
Note that there is only one clause, and that the who/which is not referring to another noun in the sentence.
2. The main area of confusion comes from indirect questions, when the question has been turned into part of another sentence.
