6 * 16.66 = 100.
For 1500 = 6 * 15 = 90shares,
1share Rs 64.
Then investment is 90 * 64 = 5760.

How could I understand that 50/3 the earning?

I can't able to know how it comes 50/3? Please explain.

3*16+2 = 50/3.
50/3 = 16.66.

Rs.64 -- 16.66.
Rs. ? -- 1.

= 3.84.

1500*3.84 = 5760.

How 50/3 reciprocated?

Here is the explanation;

When the fraction number is present in denominator while calculating that denominator of the denominator will go to the numerator.

50/3 rs at 64 ,
Then 1500rs at = 64/(50/3) * 1500.
=> 64 * 3 * 1500/50.
=>64 * 90,
=>5760.

@pawan Suppose u do a work in 2 days...
then what amount u work in 1 day??????
obviously half work.....isnt it?????
then how it comes 1/2 work????????
in this way.......
2 days.....1 work
1 day.......X work...
i.e 2*X = 1*1
i.e X =(1*1)/2
i.e X = 1/2 work.........this is the answer...
