Answer : [A]
Explanation :
 
Par value of 200 shares = Rs. (200 x 10) = Rs. 2000
 
Dividend received by Mac = Rs.  
8
100
x 2000    = Rs. 160  
 
Let the market value of 200 shares be Rs. x.
 
We have to find x such that 10% of x = 160
 
 
10
100
 x x = 160
 
 x = 160 x 10 = 1600      
 
i.e. Market value of 200 shares = Rs. 1600.
 
Hence, the market value of one share = Rs.  
1600
200
x 2000    = Rs. 8
