{dividend(%) of face value / market value } * investment = earnings(income).
{10.5 % of 100 / x } * 9000 = 756.
{ 10.5 / x } * 9000 = 756.
x= 125.

Subtracting brokerage 1/4 % which is 0.25.
income = 125-0.25 .
Then 124.75.

In all other questions % stock is the profit per share i.e. 5% stock at 25 means 5 Rs. Profit on one share of Rs. 25.

So here 10.5 % should be the profit per share not the % profit per share.
