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.

Current Market Value = Rs. 96.
Required Income = Rs. 650.
Face Value is not given. We always assume face value as Rs. 100 when it's not mentioned in the question. and the dividend is always given on face value!. So you earn Rs. 10 (i.e 10% of Face Value which is 100) even if you purchase the shares at Rs. 96 (which is the current market value).
So if you earn Rs. 10 on each share, you need 65 shares to earn Rs 650. at current market price Rs. 96, you need to invest 96*65 which are Rs. 6240.

Market value is Rs.96.
Dividend is 10%.
If we go through the formula.
Rate of interest p.a. = 10*100/96 would give us 10.42%.
So if we invest Rs.6240 we would get income of Rs.650.
