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 Rs. $2000$.
$5000$ and $25000$
$5000$ and $25000$
$5000$ and $25000$
$5000$ and $25000$
Solution
Let Rs $x$ be invested in the first bond. Then, the sum of money invested in the second bond will be Rs. $(30000-x)$.
Therefore, in order to obtain an annual total interest of Rs. $2000,$ we have:
$\left[ {x\,(30000 – x)} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{l}}
{\frac{5}{{100}}} \\
{\frac{7}{{100}}}
\end{array}} \right] = 2000$
$\Rightarrow \frac{5 x}{100}+\frac{7(30000-x)}{100}=2000$
$\Rightarrow 5 x+210000-7 x=200000$
$\Rightarrow 210000-2 x=200000$
$\Rightarrow 2 x=210000-200000$
$\Rightarrow 2 x=10000$
$\Rightarrow \quad x=5000$
Thus, in order to obtain an annual total interest of Rs. $2000$ , the trust fund should invest Rs. $5000 $ in the first bond and the remaining Rs. $25000$ in the second bond.
