A trust invested some money in two type of bonds. The first bond pays 10% interest and second bond pays 12% interest. The trust received ₹ 2,800 as interest. However, if trust had interchanged money in bonds, they would have got ₹ 100 less as interest. Using matrix method, find the amount invested by the trust. Interest received on this amount will be given to Help age India as donation. Which value is reflected in this question?(CBSE 2016)

Given: There are two types of bonds paying 10% and 12% as interest.


To find: the amount invested by the trust in both the bonds using given conditions


Let the amount invested in the first and second bond be x and y respectively.


In first case:


The rate of interest in first and second bond be 10% and 12 % respectively







In second case:


The amounted invested in both the bonds gets interchanged


So, the amount in first and second bond is y and x respectively


The rate of interest in first and second bond be 10% and 12 % respectively









To solve these equations and get values of x, y, we have:


AX = B where,




Now, check whether system has unique solution or not:



= 10 × 10 – 12 × 12


= 100 – 144


= -44



The system of the equation is consistent and have unique solution


AX = B


⇒ X = A-1 B


Formula used:














Thus,




X = A-1 B








Solutions of the equations are x = 10000, y = 15000


Hence, the amount invested in the first and second bond is 10000 and 15000 respectively

A typist charges ₹ 145 for typing 10 English and 3 Hindi pages, while charges for typing 3 English and 10 Hindi pages are ₹ 180. Using matrices, find the charges of typing one English and one Hindi page separately. However, typist charged only ₹ 2 per page from a poor student Shyam for 5 Hindi pages. How much less charged from this poor boy? Which values are reflected in this problem?(CBSE 2016)

Ishan wants to donate a rectangular plot of land for a school in his village. When he was asked to give dimensions of the plot, he told that if its length is decreased by 50 m and breadth is increased by 50 m, then its area will remain same, but if length is decreased by 10 m and breadth is decreased by 20 m, then its area will decrease by Using matrices, find the dimensions of the plot. Also, give a reason why he wants to donate the plot for a school.(CBSE 2016)
