@All.
we don't know face value ,so consider 100
we don't know the investment, so consider 100
take market value 'x'
now
*question in detail*
a stock bought at 12% of face value if sold at 'x' market value would yield 10% of face value
{12% of face value ÷ x }* investment = 10% of face value.
{ (12/100) ÷ x } * 100 = 10/100.
Simplify ,
12÷x = 10/100,
x=120.

Yield means what you get in return i.e interest.
Both interest and yield are same thing here.
Now,
Since, interest=dividend/market value ---> (eq1)
Interest=10%.
Dividend=12%.
Let the eMarket value be x.
Let face value be 100.
Thus,
Dividend=12% of the face value.
D = 12.
From eq1.
10/100 = 12/x.
X = 12 * 100/10.
X = 120.
Or market value=120.

X = 12 * 100/10.
X = 120.
Or market value=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.
=> Dividend Yield or Rate of Interest = Face Value * Dividend / Market Value.
=> 10 = 100 *12 / Market Value.
=> Market Value = 100*12/10 = Rs.120.

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.
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.

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.
Let us suppose issue price = 100,
Then dividend = 100*10%=10,
Then market price= 10/12%= 83.33 rs.

D*F.V = I*M.V.
Here,
d = dividend, f.v = face value, m.v = market value,
So,12*100 = 10*x.
=>x=120.
Here,
d = dividend, f.v = face value, m.v = market value,
So,12*100 = 10*x.
=>x=120.

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