Principal = 102,000

Return - 11,320

Return = (principal x rate x time)/100

X = the amount invested at 14%

Then 102000- x = the amount invested at 10%

11320 = (x*14)/100 + (102000-x*10)100

x = 28,000

a) 28,000 is invested at 14%

74,000 is invested at 10%

b) The 14% investment is riskier so if all the money was in that account the investor could lose all his money.
