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.

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.

Suppose
1oo people complete the task =300days
then 1 people can complete this task=300/100
same as
50/3--- 64
1-------(64/(50/3))
1oo people complete the task =300days
then 1 people can complete this task=300/100
same as
50/3--- 64
1-------(64/(50/3))

To earn 50/3 v invest 64.
So to earn 1500 v invest ?
Just do cross multiply i.e.,
V invest 64*1500*3/50 = Rs. 5760.

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