Answer:

The amount invested in gold bullion by Mr. Eliot  =   $50,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Total amount of savings Me. Eliot ha s = $150,000

Let us assume the amount invested in gold bullion = $m

So, the amount invested in bank = $150,000 - m

Now, 5% on m = \frac{5}{100}  \times m = 0.05 m

So, the profit in gold bullion  =  0.05 m

and 3% on (150,000 -m)   = \frac{3}{100}  \times  (150,000 -m) = 0.03  (150,000 -m)

= 4,500 - 0.03 m

So, the profit in bank =  4,500 - 0.03 m

Now,  the total profit  = $5,500

⇒Profit from gold bullion + ban = $5,500

⇒0.05 m +  4,500 - 0.03 m = $5,500

or, 0.02 m = 1000

⇒ m = 1000/0.02 = 50,000

Hence, the amount invested in gold bullion  =  m = $50,000

1). HA - [Equal hypotenuse and an cute angles]

2). LL - [Two legs should be equal]

3). LA - [One leg and one angle must be equal]

4). ASA - [Two angles and the side containing these angles should be equal]

In the given right triangles,

1). OJ ≅ IL

2). ∠O ≅ ∠I

3). ∠J ≅ ∠L

Therefore, two postulates HA, ASA will be applicable for the congruence of the two triangles given.
