Here,
Market Price=96 Rs.
Dividend=10% of face value(since, here face value is not given so we take it as 100 Rs).
= profit per share =(10/100)*100=10 Rs.
This means,
On buying a share at the market price of 96 Rs earning is 10 Rs.
Therefore,
In order to earn 1 Rs as a profit, we have to invest = (96/10) = 9.6 Rs.
So,
To earn 650 Rs.
We have to invest = 650 * 9.6 = 6240 Rs.
Therefore, the answer will be option B.
Market Price=96 Rs.
Dividend=10% of face value(since, here face value is not given so we take it as 100 Rs).
= profit per share =(10/100)*100=10 Rs.
This means,
On buying a share at the market price of 96 Rs earning is 10 Rs.
Therefore,
In order to earn 1 Rs as a profit, we have to invest = (96/10) = 9.6 Rs.
So,
To earn 650 Rs.
We have to invest = 650 * 9.6 = 6240 Rs.
Therefore, the answer will be option B.

No.of share = 650 (total income)/income per share.
i.e.10 = 65.
So,
Investment per share= 96.
Investment for 65 shares= 96*65= 6240.
i.e.10 = 65.
So,
Investment per share= 96.
Investment for 65 shares= 96*65= 6240.

Dividend rate -10%.
Market price - 96.
Expected income - 650.
Income from one share = 96*10% =9.6.
So, investment require for getting 650 return = (650/9.6)*96.
= 6500.
The answer is not 6240.
The rate of return is 10%.
Return=6240*10%=624 not 650.
Market price - 96.
Expected income - 650.
Income from one share = 96*10% =9.6.
So, investment require for getting 650 return = (650/9.6)*96.
= 6500.
The answer is not 6240.
The rate of return is 10%.
Return=6240*10%=624 not 650.

Dividend rate= 10,
Market price = Rs.96,
Income = Rs.650,
Investment = (income * market price )/dividend rate,
Investment = (650*96)/10,
= 6240.
Market price = Rs.96,
Income = Rs.650,
Investment = (income * market price )/dividend rate,
Investment = (650*96)/10,
= 6240.
