Answers
480 shares
- For Shameem's savings = x, divided up into 2 parts
- First part = 1/3 x Second part = 2/3 x
- Investment for first part
- Face value = Rs 50
- Market value = Rs 60
Savings invested = 1/3 x = # shares bought * market value
So, # shares bought = (1/3 x) / (Rs 60) = 1/180 x
So, Dividend from part A = Face value * # shares bought * annual dividend/100
= 50 * (1/180 x) * 20/100 = Rs. 1/18 x
Investment for second part (similar procedure)
Face value = Rs 100
Market value = Rs 110
Savings invested = 2/3 x = # shares bought * market value
So, # shares bought = (2/3 x) / (Rs 110) = 2/330 x
So, Dividend from part A = Face value * # shares bought * annual dividend/100
Total income from investment =
x = total savings =
A = 1/3 * 79200 = Rs 26400
So, # of Rs 50 shares = 1/180 x =
B = 2/3 * 79200 = Rs 52800
So, # of Rs 100 shares = 2/330 x = 2/330 * 79200 = 480 shares
FINAL ANSWER :-
1. His savings = ₹79,200
2. The number of ₹50 shares = 440
3. The number of ₹100 shares = 480
