A. 150
B. 165
C. 180
D. 201
Cost of 1 = Rs. [25+5+1/4)] = Rs. (121/4).
Cost of 88 s = Rs.[(121/4)*88] = Rs. 2662.
Investment made = Rs. 2662.
Face value of 88 s = Rs. (88*25) = Rs. 2200.
Dividend on Rs. 100 = (15/2).
Dividend on Rs. 2200 = Rs. [(15/20*(1/100)*2200] = Rs. 165.
Income derived = Rs. 165.

A. Rs. 4800
B. Rs. 5400
C. Rs. 5000
D. Rs. 5600
Let the investment in 9% stock is x.
investment in 10% stock = (9800 – x)
9/75 * x = 10/80(9800 – x) hence x = 5000
