Q19.    A trust fund has Rs. 30,000 that must be invested in two different types of bonds. The first bond pays 5% interest per year, and the second bond pays 7% interest per year. Using matrix multiplication, determine how to divide Rs 30,000 among the two types of bonds. If the trust fund must obtain an annual total interest of:

(a) Rs. 1800

Views

Let Rs. x be invested in the first bond.

Money invested in second bond = Rs (3000-x)

The first bond pays 5% interest per year and the second bond pays 7% interest per year.

To obtain an annual total interest of  Rs. 1800,  we have

$\begin{bmatrix}x &(30000-x) \end{bmatrix}$ $\begin{bmatrix} \frac{5}{100} \\ \frac{7}{100} \end{bmatrix}$  $=1800$                       (simple interest for 1 year $=\frac{pricipal\times rate}{100}$ )

$\frac{5}{100}x+\frac{7}{100}(30000-x) = 1800$

$5x+210000-7x=180000$

$210000-180000=7x-5x$

$30000=2x$

$x=15000$

Thus, to obtain an annual total interest of  Rs. 1800, the trust fund should invest Rs 15000 in the first bond and Rs 15000 in the second bond.
