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}  =2000                       (simple interest for 1 year =\frac{pricipal\times rate}{100} )

\frac{5}{100}x+\frac{7}{100}(30000-x) = 2000

5x+210000-7x=200000

210000-200000=7x-5x

 10000=2x

x=5000

Thus, to obtain an annual total interest of  Rs. 2000, the trust fund should invest Rs 5000 in the first bond and Rs 25000 in the second bond.
