If 20 shares @50 rs then 20*50=1000....but discount rs5 then it will be 20 shares in 45 rs ie. 20*45=900...thus man saves rs 100..
dividend rate is 13 1/2 =27/2.
He got dividend on rs 1000 @27/2
if 1000 is 100%
then ? is 27/2%
by cross multyplication it will be 1000*27/2/100
=135
if 900 is 100% then how much percent is 135
135*100/900= it will be = 15
dividend rate is 13 1/2 =27/2.

Actually dividend is calculated as per face value.
Here, face value = 1000,
Dividend = 135,
Interest will be 135*100/1000 = 27/2%.
Is it or not?
Will you please clarify me?

@Balaji.
Interest = Dividend * 100/market value.
Here M.V. = 900 not 1000.
Interest = Dividend * 100/market value.
Here M.V. = 900 not 1000.
