Ans: D

Annual dividend on one share = $$(2 × 7{1}/{2})%$$

i.e., 15% of Rs. 10

= $$({15}/{100} × 10)$$ = Rs. 1.50

∴ Annual dividend on 1250 shares

= Rs. (1250 × 1.50) = Rs. 1875.

Ans: B

Face value of the stock = Rs.20000

Income on Rs. 100 stock = Rs. $$7{1}/{2}$$

Income on Rs. 1 stock = Rs. $$({15/2})/{100}$$ = Rs. $$({15}/{200})$$

Income on Rs. 20000 stock = Rs. $$({15}/{200} × 20000)$$ = Rs.1500.

Ans: B

Brokerage = 1% Rs. 90 = Rs. 0.90.

∴ Investment needed to buy Rs. 100 stock = Rs. 90.90 on which the income is Rs. 9%.

For income of Rs. $$9{1}/{2}$$, the investment = Rs. 90.90.

For income of Rs. 1938,

the investment = Rs. $$({90.90 × 2}/{19} × 1938)$$ = Rs. 18543.60.

Ans: D

To earn Rs. 10, money invested = Rs. 100.

To earn Rs. 12, money invested = Rs. $$({100}/{10} × 12)$$ = Rs. 120.

∴ Market value of Rs. 100 stock = Rs. 120.

Ans: D

Number of shares = 125000

Par value of a share = Rs. 20

∴ Total par value of 125000 shares = Rs. (1250000 × 20) = Rs. 2500000

Total dividend = Rs. 375000

∴ Rate of dividend paid by the company

= $$({375000} / {2500000} × 100)%$$ = 15%.
