Answer : [C]
Explanation :
 
Par value of a share = Rs. 10
 
Market value of share = Rs.   10 x
120
100
   = Rs. 12  
 
The amount to be paid by the buyer to purchase 2500 shares = Rs. (2500 x 12) = Rs. 30000
 
Gain of the shareholder on selling one share = Rs. (20 – 12) = Rs. 8
 
 
  Gain from selling 2500 shares = Rs. (2500 x 8) = Rs. 20000.

Answer : [B]
Explanation :
 
Stock purchased by investing Rs. 28500 in 5% stock at 95 = Rs.  
100
95
x 28500    = Rs. 30000  
 
Money realised by selling Rs. 15000 stock market value of Rs. 98 = Rs.  
98
100
x 15000    = Rs. 14700  
 
Remaining stock = Rs. (30000 – 15000) = Rs. 15000
 
Money realised by selling Rs. 15000 stock at Rs. 90 = Rs.  
90
100
x 15000    = Rs. 13500  
 
 
  Total money realised = Rs. (14700 + 13500) = Rs. 28200  
 
Money invested = Rs. 28500
 
 
  Loss = Rs. (28500 – 28200) = Rs. 300.
