Answer:
Change Rs 80
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 'x' be the number of shares of 3%(Rs 100) at a discount of 10%
=> x*100*(1-10%) = 9,000
=>x = 100
Thus, initially he has bought 100 shares.
SO, his initial income from shares would be 100*3
= 300 Rs.
He sold all the shares at rate of 95
=> he has earned 95*100
= 9500.
He has invested Rs 9500 in 4%(Rs 50) shares
=>Let y be the number of such shares
so, y*50 = 9500
=> y = 190.
His final income would become
= 4% (rs 50)* 190
= 380 Rs
His change in income was Rs 80.
