20 * 50 = 1000, 20 * 45 = 900, 27 * 1000/2 * 100 = 135, 135 * 100/900 = 15%.

Face value = Rs. 50, Dividend = Rs. 27/2.
Market value = After Rs. 5 discount = 50 - 5 = Rs. 45,
Interest rate = Dividend / Market value * Face value.
= 27/2 / 45 * 50,
= 15,
= 15 %.
Market value = After Rs. 5 discount = 50 - 5 = Rs. 45,
Interest rate = Dividend / Market value * Face value.
= 27/2 / 45 * 50,
= 15,
= 15 %.

27/2 rupees on 100 as dividend refers.
In question's case, it is 27/2 rupees on investing 90rs,
So simply find out 27/2 is what percent of 90.
(27/2)*100 /90 = 15.
That is the profit.
