Question:

Ravi invested Rs 6250 in shares of a company paying 6% per annum. If he bought Rs 25 share for Rs 31.25 each, find his annual income from this investment.

Options:

₹500

₹400

₹300

₹200

Correct Answer:

₹300

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (3) : ₹300

Total investment $=₹6250$

Market value of one share $=₹31.25$

∴ No. of shares $=\frac{₹6250}{₹31.25}$

Now, dividend on one share of ₹25 $=₹\left(\frac{6}{100}×25\right)=₹1.5$

∴Ravi's annual income $=₹(200×1.5)$

$=₹300$
