Solution

Let the amount invested in first type of bonds is Rs x, then that invested in second type of bonds will be Rs (30000 -x).
According to the given condition, [x 30000x]51007100=[2000][5x100+(30000x)7100]=[2000]
Hence, the amounts invested in two types of bonds are respectively Rs 5000 and Rs (30000-5000)=Rs 25000.
