Obviously, if he were to only maximize his income he would put all money on the higher interest. But to reduce the risk he will balance the investment. He will put a fraction a (between 0 and 1) of the 710000 on 1% and the rest (1-a) on the 4.5%.  Both interests together must then satisfy to add up to 18000.

So written as an equation:

I am not going to solve step by step assuming you can solve for a (if not let me know) but the solution is

So that means he should put

on the 1% account, and the rest 311429 on the riskier 4.5% account.
