Ques.19. A trust fund has ` 30,000 that must be invested in two different types of bond. The first bond pays 5% interest per year and the second bond pays 7% interest per year. Using matrix multiplication, determine how to divide ` 30,000 in two types of bonds, if the trust fund must obtain an annual interest of (a) ` 1800, (b) ` 2000.

Ans. Let the investment in first bond = ,

investment in the second bond = `

Interest paid by first bond = 5% =  per rupee and

interest paid by second bond = 5% =  per rupee.

Matrix of investment is A = 

Matrix of annual interest per rupee B = 

Matrix of total annual interest is AB =

 Total annual interest = ` 

(a) According to question, 

     

 

hance, Investment in first bond = ` 15,000

And Investment in second bond = ` (30000 – 15000) = ` 15,000

(b) According to question, 

   

 

hance, Investment in first bond = ` 5,000

And Investment in second bond = ` (30000 – 15000) = ` 25,000
