is Rs.20 each with brokerage being 2.5%.

b) 500
c) 400
d) 410
Solution:
Cost of each share = (20 + 2.5% of 20) = Rs.20.5

= Rs.5000

Dividend on 1 share = (12.5 * 50)/100 = Rs.6.25
Rs.25 is income on an investment of Rs.100
Rs.6.25 is income on an investment of Rs. (6.25 * 100)/25 = Rs.25

For an investment of Rs.100, income = Rs. (100 * 10)/80 = Rs.12.5
For an investment of Rs.70, income = Rs.15
For an investment of Rs.100, income = Rs. (100 * 15)/70 = Rs.21.43
For an investment of Rs.75, income = Rs.12
For an investment of Rs.100, income = Rs. (100 * 12)/75 = Rs.16
