A=13x and B=23x
Investment done by Part “A”
Fave value = Rs. 50; Market value = Rs. 60; Total number of shares bought =1180x
Dividend=FV×No. of shares×Annual dividend100=50×2330×10100=Rs.118x

Investment done by Part “B”
Fave value = Rs. 100; Market value = Rs. 110; Total number of shares bought =2330x
Dividend=FV×No. of shares×Annual dividend100=100×2330×10100=Rs.233x

Total Income=233+118x=69594x
69594x=9200x=9200×59469=Rs.79200
A = Rs. 26400 Number of Rs. 50 shares = 440 shares
