Problem 5: Daily Expenses of Families A, B, and C



#### Given Data:
- Daily expenses:
- Men: ₹200
- Women: ₹150
- Children: ₹200 (but children do not earn, so their expenses are borne by men and women)

- Family composition:

| Family | Men | Women | Children |
|--------|-----|-------|----------|
| A | 2 | 3 | 1 |
| B | 2 | 1 | 3 |
| C | 4 | 2 | 6 |

We need to calculate the daily expenses for each family. Since only men and women earn, but all members (including children) have expenses, we assume that the total daily expenses include:
- Cost of men × 200
- Cost of women × 150
- Cost of children × 200

So, even though children don't earn, they consume resources.

---

#### Step 1: Represent data in matrices

Let’s define:

- Matrix M (family composition):
Each row is a family, columns are Men, Women, Children

$$
M = \begin{bmatrix}
2 & 3 & 1 \\
2 & 1 & 3 \\
4 & 2 & 6 \\
\end{bmatrix}
$$

- Matrix E (expenses per person):
Column vector: Men, Women, Children

$$
E = \begin{bmatrix}
200 \\
150 \\
200 \\
\end{bmatrix}
$$

---

#### Step 2: Multiply M × E

Each element of the resulting matrix will be the total daily expense for each family.

$$
\text{Total Expenses} = M \times E
$$

Compute:

For Family A:
$$
(2)(200) + (3)(150) + (1)(200) = 400 + 450 + 200 = ₹1050
$$

For Family B:
$$
(2)(200) + (1)(150) + (3)(200) = 400 + 150 + 600 = ₹1150
$$

For Family C:
$$
(4)(200) + (2)(150) + (6)(200) = 800 + 300 + 1200 = ₹2300
$$

So,

$$
\text{Expenses} = \begin{bmatrix}
1050 \\
1150 \\
2300 \\
\end{bmatrix}
$$

---

#### Answer to Problem 5:
- Daily expenses:
- Family A: ₹1050
- Family B: ₹1150
- Family C: ₹2300

---

#### Impact of More Children on Society:
More children in a family increase the total dependency ratio, meaning more people are being supported by fewer earners (men and women). This leads to:
- Higher daily expenses
- Increased financial burden on working members
- Potential strain on resources
- Possible underdevelopment if not supported by social systems

Thus, more children without proportional earning capacity can lead to economic stress, especially in low-income families. However, children are future contributors — so long-term investment in education and health is key.

Problem 6: Trust Fund for Handicapped Children



#### Given:
- Monthly donation: ₹30,000
- Half of funds used for medical/educational care → ₹15,000 spent
- Charges 2% of the spent amount from donors → 2% of ₹15,000 = ₹300
- Remaining amount deposited in bank: ₹15,000 – ₹300 = ₹14,700
- This ₹14,700 earns interest, and the trust wants ₹1800 every month from interest.
- Find: What rate of interest should the trust get?

Use matrix method to find rate of interest.

---

#### Clarify the scenario:
The trust receives ₹30,000/month.
- Spends ₹15,000 on care
- Charges 2% of spent amount (₹300) from donors → this is not part of the deposit
- So, deposits: ₹15,000 – ₹300 = ₹14,700 into bank
- The interest earned on this ₹14,700 must be ₹1800 per month

But wait — ₹1800 per month from ₹14,700? That would require:
$$
\text{Interest rate per month} = \frac{1800}{14700} \approx 12.24\%
$$
Which is very high.

Wait — perhaps there's a misunderstanding.

Let’s re-read:

> "The trust spends half of the funds received... and for that it charges 2% of the spent amount from them..."

"Charges 2% of the spent amount from them" — meaning donors pay extra? Or does the trust charge the donors an extra 2% fee?

Possibility: The donors give ₹30,000, but the trust charges 2% of the spent amount as a fee or administrative cost, which may be deducted from the donated amount.

But let's suppose:
- Total received: ₹30,000
- Half (₹15,000) goes to care
- The trust charges 2% of ₹15,000 = ₹300 as fee, so this ₹300 comes from the donated money?
- Then, only ₹14,700 is deposited in bank

Then, interest earned on ₹14,700 must be ₹1800 per month.

But ₹1800 / ₹14,700 ≈ 12.24% monthly → 146.9% annual → impossible.

So likely, the trust deposits the entire ₹15,000 (half of ₹30,000), and the 2% is charged from the donor as a fee, but the bank deposit is ₹15,000, and interest on that is used.

But then why mention "charges 2% of spent amount"? Let's interpret carefully.

Alternative interpretation:
- Donor gives ₹30,000
- Trust uses ₹15,000 for care
- Trust charges 2% of the spent amount (₹15,000) as a fee, meaning the donor pays extra? But that doesn’t make sense.

Wait — perhaps the trust collects ₹30,000, uses ₹15,000 for care, and the remaining ₹15,000 is deposited. But they charge 2% of the spent amount (₹15,000) as a service fee, so the donor pays ₹300 extra? That would mean the total collected is ₹30,300?

No — probably not.

Better interpretation:

> "The trust spends half of the funds received for medical and educational care of the children and for that it charges 2% of the spent amount from them"

"From them" = from the donors.

So, when the trust spends ₹15,000, it charges 2% of that (₹300) to the donor as a fee.

So, the donor actually pays ₹30,000 + ₹300 = ₹30,300?

But that seems odd.

Alternatively: The trust receives ₹30,000, spends ₹15,000 on care, and charges 2% of the spent amount (₹300) as administrative fee, which is paid by the donor, so the net amount available for deposit is ₹15,000 (remaining half) minus ₹300? No.

Wait — let's reframe.

Perhaps:
- Trust receives ₹30,000
- Uses ₹15,000 for care
- Charges 2% of the spent amount (₹15,000) as a fee — meaning this ₹300 is deducted from the donation, so only ₹14,700 is deposited

But then, how much interest is needed?

> "What percent of interest should the trust get from the bank to get a total of Rs. 1800 every month?"

So, the interest earned from the bank deposit must be ₹1800/month.

So, if ₹14,700 is deposited, and earns ₹1800/month, then:

$$
\text{Monthly interest rate } r = \frac{1800}{14700} = \frac{1800}{14700} = \frac{12}{98} = \frac{6}{49} \approx 0.1224 \Rightarrow 12.24\%
$$

This is very high — 12.24% per month → 146.9% per year — unrealistic.

So likely, the full ₹15,000 is deposited, and the 2% charge is separate.

Let’s consider:

- Trust receives ₹30,000
- Spends ₹15,000 on care
- Charges 2% of the spent amount (₹300) as a fee — perhaps this is paid by the donor, so total collected = ₹30,300, but only ₹15,000 is used for care, and ₹15,000 is deposited?

But that doesn’t help.

Wait — maybe the 2% is not deducted, but rather the trust uses the full ₹15,000 for care, and the other ₹15,000 is deposited, and the interest is calculated on that ₹15,000, and the 2% charge is just administrative.

But then why mention it?

Let’s read again:

> "The trust spends half of the funds received for medical and educational care... and for that it charges 2% of the spent amount from them"

Ah! So: the trust spends ₹15,000 on care, and charges 2% of that (₹300) as a fee to the donor. So the donor pays ₹30,000 + ₹300 = ₹30,300? That doesn’t make sense.

Alternatively: the donor gives ₹30,000, the trust spends ₹15,000 on care, and keeps ₹15,000, but charges 2% of the spent amount (₹300) as administrative fee, so the net amount available for deposit is ₹15,000 – ₹300 = ₹14,700

Then, interest on ₹14,700 must be ₹1800/month.

Again, same issue.

But perhaps the ₹1800 is not the interest, but the total return?

No — it says: "to get a total of Rs. 1800 every month"

Wait — maybe the ₹1800 is not the interest, but the amount needed to cover costs?

But no — it says: "what percent of interest should the trust get from the bank to get a total of Rs. 1800 every month?"

So, interest income = ₹1800/month.

But ₹1800 from ₹14,700 is impossible.

Wait — perhaps the deposited amount is ₹15,000, and the 2% charge is irrelevant to the deposit, and only the interest on ₹15,000 is considered.

Let’s assume:

- Donation: ₹30,000
- Spent on care: ₹15,000
- Deposit: ₹15,000
- Interest on ₹15,000 = ₹1800/month

Then:
$$
r = \frac{1800}{15000} = 0.12 = 12\% \text{ per month} \Rightarrow 144\% \text{ per year}
$$

Still unrealistic.

Wait — monthly interest of ₹1800 on ₹15,000 → 12% per month → too high.

So maybe the deposit is larger?

Another possibility: the trust deposits the entire ₹30,000, but spends ₹15,000 on care, and the rest ₹15,000 is deposited, and the 2% charge is a fee paid by the donor, so no reduction in deposit.

But still, ₹1800/month on ₹15,000 is 12% monthly.

Unrealistic.

Wait — perhaps the ₹1800 is the net income after fees?

But the question says: "to get a total of Rs. 1800 every month"

And "use matrix method".

So perhaps we need to use matrix method to model the flow.

Let’s try to formalize with matrices.

---

#### Matrix Method Approach

Let’s define variables.

Let:
- $ D = 30,000 $: monthly donation
- Spent on care: $ S = 0.5 \times D = 15,000 $
- Charge: $ 2\% $ of $ S = 0.02 \times 15,000 = 300 $
- So, net deposit = $ D - S - \text{charge}? $

Wait — no.

If the trust receives ₹30,000, spends ₹15,000 on care, and charges 2% of spent amount (₹300) as a fee — where does the ₹300 come from?

Possibly, the donor pays ₹30,000, and the trust keeps ₹300 as fee, and deposits ₹14,700.

But then deposit = ₹14,700

Then, interest earned = $ I = P \times r $, where $ r $ is monthly interest rate.

We want:
$$
I = 1800 = 14700 \times r \Rightarrow r = \frac{1800}{14700} = \frac{12}{98} = \frac{6}{49} \approx 0.1224 = 12.24\%
$$

So monthly interest rate = 12.24%

Annual = 12.24 × 12 = 146.9% → not realistic

But perhaps the ₹1800 is not the interest, but the total return including something else?

Wait — maybe the ₹1800 is the interest, and the deposit is ₹15,000, and the 2% charge is ignored.

Or, perhaps the trust deposits ₹15,000, and earns interest, and the 2% charge is a separate fee, but does not reduce the deposit.

But then why mention it?

Wait — another interpretation:

> "The trust spends half of the funds received for medical and educational care... and for that it charges 2% of the spent amount from them"

So, the donor is charged 2% of the spent amount as a fee, meaning the donor pays extra.

So, total collected = ₹30,000 + ₹300 = ₹30,300

Spent on care: ₹15,000

Deposit: ₹15,000 (the other half) — but where does the ₹300 go?

Maybe the ₹300 is admin fee, so deposit = ₹15,000, and interest on ₹15,000 = ₹1800/month

Then:
$$
r = \frac{1800}{15000} = 0.12 = 12\% \text{ per month} \Rightarrow 144\% \text{ per year}
$$

Still impossible.

Wait — perhaps the ₹1800 is not monthly interest, but annual?

But it says "every month".

Another idea: perhaps the trust deposits the full ₹30,000, but spends ₹15,000 on care, and the other ₹15,000 is deposited, and the 2% charge is on the spent amount, but it's paid by the donor, so no effect on deposit.

Then, deposit = ₹15,000

Interest needed = ₹1800/month

So:
$$
r = \frac{1800}{15000} = 0.12 = 12\% \text{ per month}
$$

But this is unrealistic.

Wait — perhaps the ₹1800 is the net interest after some deduction, or perhaps the deposit is larger.

Wait — what if the trust deposits ₹15,000, and the interest is ₹1800 per month, then:

$$
r = \frac{1800}{15000} = 12\% \text{ per month}
$$

But this is not possible.

Unless the ₹1800 is annual, but it says "every month".

Wait — perhaps the trust wants ₹1800 per month as interest, so the deposit must be such that:

Let $ P $ be the deposit.

$ P \times r = 1800 $

But $ P = 15,000 $, so $ r = 12\% $ per month.

But this is not feasible.

Wait — perhaps the 2% charge is not deducted, but the deposit is ₹15,000, and the trust wants ₹1800 interest per month, so:

$$
r = \frac{1800}{15000} = 12\% \text{ per month}
$$

But this is not possible.

Alternatively, perhaps the ₹1800 is not interest, but total return.

But the question says: "get a total of Rs. 1800 every month" — likely means interest income.

But maybe the deposit is ₹15,000, and the interest is ₹1800 per month, so rate is 12% per month.

But that’s not practical.

Wait — perhaps the trust deposits ₹15,000, and the interest is compounded, but we’re to find the rate.

But still, 12% per month is too high.

Wait — maybe the ₹1800 is the amount needed to cover the 2% charge?

No.

Another idea: the trust wants to earn ₹1800 per month in interest, and the deposit is ₹15,000, so:

$$
r = \frac{1800}{15000} = 0.12 = 12\% \text{ per month}
$$

But this is not reasonable.

Perhaps there's a typo, and it's ₹180 per month instead of ₹1800.

But let's assume the numbers are correct.

Perhaps the deposit is ₹15,000, and the interest is ₹1800 per month, so rate is 12% per month.

But then, using matrix method.

Let’s try to represent in matrix form.

Let’s define:

- Let $ D = 30,000 $: donation
- Spent on care: $ S = 0.5 \times D = 15,000 $
- Charge: $ C = 0.02 \times S = 300 $
- Deposit: $ P = D - S - C = 30,000 - 15,000 - 300 = 14,700 $

Now, let $ r $ be the monthly interest rate.

Then, interest = $ P \times r = 14,700 \times r $

Set equal to 1800:

$$
14,700 \times r = 1800 \Rightarrow r = \frac{1800}{14700} = \frac{12}{98} = \frac{6}{49} \approx 0.1224 = 12.24\%
$$

So monthly interest rate = 12.24%

Annual = 12.24 × 12 = 146.9%

But this is not feasible.

Alternatively, perhaps the interest is earned on the full ₹15,000, and the 2% charge is a separate fee, so deposit = ₹15,000, interest = 1800, so r = 12% per month.

Still high.

But since the problem asks to use matrix method, let’s try to represent it.

---

#### Matrix Representation

Let’s define a vector for the flows.

Let’s say:

- Input: Donation = ₹30,000
- Output:
- Care: ₹15,000
- Admin fee: ₹300
- Deposit: ₹14,700

So, the deposit amount is:

$$
P = 30,000 - 15,000 - 300 = 14,700
$$

Now, let’s define a matrix to represent the allocation.

Let’s create a coefficient matrix.

Let:
- $ x $ = donation amount
- We want to express the deposit as a function of x.

From above:
- Spent on care: $ 0.5x $
- Charge: $ 0.02 \times 0.5x = 0.01x $
- Deposit: $ x - 0.5x - 0.01x = 0.49x $

So, deposit = $ 0.49x $

With $ x = 30,000 $, deposit = $ 0.49 \times 30,000 = 14,700 $

Now, interest = $ P \times r = 0.49x \times r $

Set equal to 1800:

$$
0.49 \times 30,000 \times r = 1800 \Rightarrow 14,700 \times r = 1800 \Rightarrow r = \frac{1800}{14700} = 12.24\%
$$

Now, to use matrix method, we can write:

Let’s define:

$$
\vec{v} = \begin{bmatrix} \text{Donation} \\ \text{Care} \\ \text{Charge} \\ \text{Deposit} \end{bmatrix}
$$

But we can write:

$$
\begin{bmatrix} \text{Care} \\ \text{Charge} \\ \text{Deposit} \end{bmatrix} =
\begin{bmatrix}
0.5 & 0 \\
0.01 & 0 \\
0.49 & 0 \\
\end{bmatrix}
\begin{bmatrix} x \\ y \end{bmatrix}
$$

But perhaps simpler:

Let’s define a transformation matrix for the allocation.

Let’s say the donation is $ x $, and we want to compute the deposit.

The deposit is:

$$
\text{Deposit} = x - 0.5x - 0.01x = 0.49x
$$

So, in matrix form:

$$
\text{Deposit} = [0.49] \times x
$$

Then, interest = deposit × r = 0.49x × r

Set equal to 1800:

$$
0.49 \times 30,000 \times r = 1800 \Rightarrow r = \frac{1800}{14700} = 12.24\%
$$

So, monthly interest rate = 12.24%

But this is not realistic.

However, since the problem asks for it, we'll go with it.

---

#### Answer to Problem 6:

- Deposit amount = ₹14,700
- Required interest = ₹1800/month
- Rate of interest required = $ \frac{1800}{14700} \times 100 = 12.24\% $ per month

- Annual rate = 12.24 × 12 = 146.9% — extremely high

This suggests that either:
- The numbers are incorrect (e.g., ₹180 instead of ₹1800)
- Or the assumption about the deposit is wrong

But based on given data, this is the result.

---

#### Should people donate to such trusts?

Yes, if the trust is transparent, accountable, and uses funds effectively. Even if the interest rate is high, it might be due to short-term goals or assumptions.

But 12.24% monthly interest is unrealistic — banks do not offer such rates.

So, likely the numbers are misstated.

But assuming the math is correct, the answer is:

> The trust needs 12.24% per month interest rate, which is not feasible in reality.

Therefore, people should donate only if the trust is trustworthy and the financial model is sound.

---

Final Answers:



#### Problem 5:
- Daily expenses:
- Family A: ₹1050
- Family B: ₹1150
- Family C: ₹2300
- More children increase dependency, raising expenses and societal burden, unless supported by social welfare.

#### Problem 6:
- Deposit = ₹14,700
- Required interest = ₹1800/month
- Rate of interest = 12.24% per month (≈146.9% per annum)
- Not feasible in real banking.
- People should donate only if the trust is transparent and financially sound.
