By investing ₹4650 in a $7\frac{1}{2}$% stock, a person obtains an income of ₹300. The market price of the stock is: |
₹116.25 ₹114.50 ₹120.75 ₹118.35 |
₹116.25 |
The correct answer is Option (1) → ₹116.25 Investment = Rs. 4,650 Nominal Interest = $\frac{15}{2}\%=7.5\%$ Income obtained = Rs. 300 $\text{Income}=\frac{\text{Nominal Value×No. of shares×Dividend}}{100}$ $\text{No. of shares} = \frac{\text{Investment}}{\text{Market Price}}=\frac{4650}{M}$ $⇒\frac{4650}{M}×\frac{7.5}{100}×100=300$ $⇒M=\frac{34875}{300}=116.25$ |
