Correct Answer: 31/2% at 93
Explanation:
Let investment in each case be Rs. (143 x 93)
Income from 5% stock = Rs. (5 / 143) x 143 x 93 = Rs. 465
Income from 31/2% stock = Rs. (3.5 / 93) x 143 x 93 = Rs. 500.50
? 31/2% stock at 93 is better.
Correct Answer: 16 : 15
Explanation:
For an income of Re. 1 in 3% stock, investment = Rs. (96 / 3) = Rs. 32
For an income of Re. 1. in 4% stock investment = Rs. (120 / 4) = Rs. 30
? Ratio of investment = 32 : 30 = 16 : 15
Correct Answer: 91/2 at 110
Explanation:
Let investment in each case be Rs. (100 x 110)
Gross income from 4% stock = Rs. (4/100) x (100 x 110) = Rs. 440
Net income from the stock = Rs. (440 - 22) = Rs. 418
Net income from 41/2% stock = Rs. (9 x 100 x 110) / (2 x 110) = Rs. 450
? Better stock is 41/2% at 110.
Correct Answer: 51/2%
