10% = 10/100 = Rs 10/-

(10/100) * 96 = 96/10 ; (9.6/96)* x = 650 ; x = 650 * 96/9.6

Income is.: 650
The percentage is: 10%
:10/100

The makeing investment is:(96/10)*650

Marketing value = 96.

Face value = 650.

Annual dividend = 10%of face value = 10\100*650 = 65.

An investment at Rs. 96 is = 65*96 = 6240.

I think it should be like:

10% on 96= Rs.9.6
9.6--->96
for, 650---> 96*650/9.6=6500 not 6240

I agree with what shivani posted. Cause it was not mentioned that 650 was the face value.
