@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.

Or market value=120.
