Answer : [B]
Explanation :
 
Income of the man from 5000 ordinary shares of Company X, which pays a dividend of 20%
 
= Rs.  
5000 x 10 x 20
100
   = Rs. 10000.  
 
Selling price of a share of Company X = Rs. 30
 
 
  Selling price of 5000 shares of Company X = Rs. (5000 x 30)  
 
  = Rs. 150000.      
 
Now, the market value of a share of Company Y is given to be Rs. 40.
 
 
  Number of shares of Company Y purchased by the man from Rs. 150000  
 
= Rs.  
150000
40
   = Rs. 3750
