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 $
