Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
- Cost of per share $ =Rs.( 100+100\times \frac{20}{100} ) $
$ =Rs.(100+20)=Rs.,120 $
$ \therefore $ Total number of shares
$ =\frac{Total,amount,invested}{Cost,of,per,share} $
$ =\frac{14400}{120}=120 $
$ \because $ Share cost $ =120\times 100=Rs.,12000 $
$ \therefore $ Dividend amount $ =12000\times \frac{5}{100}=Rs.,600 $
