It should be A.
Let stock be quoted as x
12% of x =10
x=83.33.

D*F.V = I*M.V.

Here,

d = dividend, f.v = face value, m.v = market value,

So,12*100 = 10*x.

=>x=120.

When Face Value and Market Value is not given, it is assumed that either of these is on 100 basis points when Dividend and Dividend Yield (Interest rate) are given in percentage.

=> Dividend Yield or Rate of Interest = Face Value * Dividend / Market Value.

=> 10 = 100 *12 / Market Value.

=> Market Value = 100*12/10 = Rs.120.

To earn 12% money invested is Rs.100.
To earn 10% money invested is (100/12 * 10 = 83.33).

Market value of a stock is Rs.83.333.

Suppose face value of stock is rs 100 then it yield 10% means rs 10.
Now, if is sold at rs x, then again it yields rs 10.
But now as per question it yields 12% then,
Yield = (10/x*100) = 12,
= rs 83.33.

Rs 12 =10% of x.
then x =120.

Market price= dividend earning/required rate of return.
Let us suppose issue price = 100,
Then dividend = 100*10%=10,
Then market price= 10/12%= 83.33 rs.
