6% stock means
The dividend is 6 on 100.

So to get 8 what is the investment(market value)
800/6 = 133.33.

I think option D might be the solution.

Consider face value = 100.
Dividend = 6.

This Rs.6 is 8%.
Then we will find 100%.

That 100% is the answer.

Can anyone solve this question in different method?
Jawahar said:   1 decade ago
When the face value is not given then we assume 100 for our convince. Then question will be easy.

Dividend, face value and interest given all are given put all the value in basic formula.


Dividend-Face value = Market value-Interest.

Get the answer 75.

What is the correct meaning of question?
Ajay said:   1 decade ago
Dividend D=6, Interest I =8.
We have Divident Amount =I*market value=D*face value
which implies 8m=6f
->m/f=0.75
Taking 100 rs as reference we get 75 Rs.
