On the inauguration day of a new showroom, a lucky draw was organized and some vouchers of ₹ 1,000 and ₹ 500 were given to the lucky draw winners. A total of 60 vouchers were given on the day. The number of ₹ 1,000 vouchers added to 3 times the number of ₹ 500 vouchers, gives 100. Express the given information as a system of linear equations in two variables. Hence, find the number of vouchers of each type by matrix method.
