Face value = 100.
Dividend = 10.

So. To earn 650 we have to buy 650/10 = 65.
So, investment = 65*95 = 6240.

Income = rate of dividend * face value.
Thus, face value = 6500.

Investment, or market value would be 96% of face value.
The 'Rs' should not be there with 96 it should be just 96 meaning that market value is 96% of face value.

Income = rate of dividend * face value.

Thus, Rs 650 = 10% * face value.

Face value = 6500 Rs.

Market Value or Investment = 96% of face value = Rs 6240.

If you invest Rs. 96 in a 10% stock, then the profit is 96*(10/100) = 9.6.

To get Rs. 650, you have to multiply it with the profit factor i.e., 9.6.

Investment = 650*9.6 = Rs. 6240.

10 = 650.
96 = ?
96/10*65 = 6240.

But we have a formula.

Annual income obtained = Total amount of stock * % rate of stock.

According to this if we do it:

650 = Total amount of stock*(10/100).

By solving this we will get total amount of stock = 6500.

Then what it means. I am unable to understand this stocks topic clearly can any one help.
