@All.
Solve it by logic;
For earning rs.50/3 he has invested Rs.64.
To earn Rs.1500 how much thus he had to invest,
50/3. 64.
1500. x.
50/3x = 64 * 1500.
Therefore:
x = 64 * 1500 * 3/50.
Ans : 5760.
Hope this might help.

The profit is 50/3 on investing 64.
The profit is 1500 on investing X.
Therefore, (50/3) / 64 = 1500 / X.
Hence X = 64 * 3/50 * 1500.
The profit is 1500 on investing X.
Therefore, (50/3) / 64 = 1500 / X.
Hence X = 64 * 3/50 * 1500.

Isn't is 50/3 when investing 100?
So the profit when 64 is invested is 64*50/300?
So the profit when 64 is invested is 64*50/300?

Let's say person earn X% When he invest Rs 64 which comes out to be Rs 50/3
64 * x% = 50/3.
Now you can find x value correct which is 3.8% so now find 38% of 1500= 5760.
64 * x% = 50/3.
Now you can find x value correct which is 3.8% so now find 38% of 1500= 5760.

@Dhivya.
How did you compare 50/3x = 64*1500.
you mentioned in the above equation that;
50/3*64.
1500*x
therefore,50/3*64 =1500*x,
this might be possible.
Then how did you declared that comparison? Please explain to me.

Yes, you are right the face value is assumed to be 100.

I believe here ideally the Face Value should have been mentioned, the face value assumed is 100.
Total Investment= ((Total Income)/(Face Value * Dividend ) ) * Market Value
Please take a note Market Value is Investment per share.
Total Investment= ((Total Income)/(Face Value * Dividend ) ) * Market Value
Please take a note Market Value is Investment per share.

"Earning" here implies dividend on the total face value of the stocks (and NOT on the investment amount).
