Q4. A trust fund has Rs 30000 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 30000 among the two
types of bonds. If the trust fund must obtain an annual total interest of Rs 1800.
