  1. Rs. 2780 are invested party in 4% stock at 75 and 5% stock at 80 to have equal amount of incomes. The investment in 5% stock is ?








  1. View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum

    Let the investment in 4% stock be Rs. N.
    Then, investment in 5% stock = Rs. (2780 - N)
    Income from 4% stock = Rs. (4/75) x N
    Income from 5% stock = Rs. [(5/80 x (2780 - N)]
    ∴ 4N / 75 = (2780 - N) / 16
    or N = 1500

    Correct Option: B

    Let the investment in 4% stock be Rs. N.
    Then, investment in 5% stock = Rs. (2780 - N)
    Income from 4% stock = Rs. (4/75) x N
    Income from 5% stock = Rs. [(5/80 x (2780 - N)]
    ∴ 4N / 75 = (2780 - N) / 16
    or N = 1500
    So, investment in 5% stock = Rs. (2780 - 1500) = Rs. 1280

    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

    Correct Option: B

    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.
