Question:

The number of shares of market value ₹110 each that can be purchased for ₹2,24,00, if the brokerage paid is 2% are :

Options:

1000

500

650

2000

Correct Answer:

2000

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → 2000

Market value per share = Rs. 110

Brokerage = 2%

Total amount available = Rs. 2,24,000

Effective Price share = $110 + (2\%\text{ of}\, 110)$

$= 110 + 2.20 = 112.20$

$\text{Number of shares} = \frac{\text{Total Amount Available}}{\text{Effective Price per share}}$

$=\frac{2,24,000}{112.20}≃1997$ shares
