SIMp.LE EQUATIONS --e-e will

be linear equations of one or two ..n""OWnSinvariably in every problem. A linear !!O.a~n is one where each variable occurs only .. ~ first power and not in any higher powers. :o-e times we' get three equations in three ..l""-o'NnS. In general, we need as many

.-,

e:ions as the variables

we will have to solve

"C'"So, for solving for the values of two unknowns. .e ""eedtwo equations (or two conditions given in !"e =-oblem)and for solving for the vall!es of three cwns. we need three equations (and hence ~ :roblem should give three conditions from ""c:- we can frame three equations). Solving the ~-::ons by itself is not a difficult task. The most -CO'1ant part of the problem is framing the ~equations. Once the equations are ~. solving them is very easy. In this chapter. -= ,,""1deal with problems involving as many ~-::ons (of first degree) as the number of ""--owns. Later on. we will look at equations of e:::rd degree (Quadratic Equations) and linear ~ where the number of equations will be ess ;."1anthat of the number of variables (under ~ =apter Special Equations).

OI'I EQUATION IN ONE UNKNOWN

is called a system of. simultaneous equations in two unknowns. Here. we have two variables (or unknowns) x and y whose values we have to find out. This can be done using the two given equations. The steps for this are as follows:

Step.!:

Step II: Solve for the value of one variable from . the equation(in one unknown)obtained from Step I above. Therefore. y = 2.

Step III: Substitute this value of the variable found in one of the two equations to get the value of the second variable.

-- ~tion like2x + 4 = 26 is an equationin one AI'!I':'"'OWI1. We have only one variable x whose e fie haveto find out. The stepsin solvingthis.

Substituting the value of'i in equation (1) or equation (2). we get x = 1. Therefore the values of x and y that satisfy the given set of equations are x = 1 and y = 2.

-=

Take all quantities added to (or subtracted from) the x term (term with the unknown) to the right side with a change of sign. Le., 2x = 26:""4 = 22. ~

II: Take the co-efficient of x from left hand side and divide right hand side with this term to get the value of x. i.e.. x = 22/2 = 11. Therefore, x = 11.

1" 0 EQUATIONS IN TWO UNKNOWNS 4 ie" :-: equations like ;;.: - 3y = 8 (1) :.: - 4y = 13 (2) -..,

Using both the equations we first eliminate one variable (so that we can then have one equation in pne unknown). Far this purpose, we multiple equation (1) with 5 (the co-efficient of x in the second equation) and multiply equation (2) with 2 (the co-efficient of x in the first equation) to eliminate x. Thus we have (1) x 5 => 10x+ 15y = 40 (3) (2) x 2 => 10x + 8y = 26 (4) Now. subtracting equation (4) from equation (3) we have 7y = 14 (5) This is one equation in one unknown.

THREE EQUA TION-8 UNKNOWNS

IN THREE

A set of equations like x + 2y + 3z = 14 (1) 2x + y + 2z = 10 (2) 3x + 3y + 4z = 21 (3). is a system of three equations in three unknowns. Here we have three unknowns x, y and z which we have to solve for from the three given equations. The procedure for the same is as follows:

Step I: Take two out of the three equations [say,

Sol: Let cost of each table be x and cost of each

eqn. (1) and (2)] and eliminate one variable (say x) so that we get an equation in two unknowns (y and z in this case).

chair be y. Then we have the. following equations from the given data. (1) 2x + 3y = 1800 3x + 4y = 2600 (2) To solve these two equations, multiply the first equation by 3 and the second by 2 and then subtract one froni the other. We get, y = 200 Substituting y in (1) we get 2x +'600 = 1800 :. x = 600 :. The cost of each "table.is Rs.600 and the cost of each chair is RS.200.

For this purpose, take equations (1) and (2). .Multiply equation (1) by 2 and subtract equation (2) from it. Equation.(1) x 2 => 2x + 4y + 6z = 28 2x + y + 2z = 10 -------------------3y + 4z = 18

(4)

Step II: Repeat Step I for two other equations [say equations (2) and (3)] and eliminate' the same variable (x in this case) so that we get one more equation in two unknowns' (y and z). For this purpose, take equations (2) and (3). Multiply equation (2) by 3, and from . that subtract equation (3) multiplied by 2. Equation (2) x 3 =>6x + 3y + 6z = 30 Equation (3) x 2 => 6x + 6y + 8z = 42 --------------------

-3y - 2z = -12

(5)

Step III: Now the equations in two unknowns that have been obtained from the above two steps have to be solved as discussed previously (in TWO EQUATIONS IN TWO UNKNOWNS) to get the values of two of the three variables (y and z in this case). In this case, solving equations (4) and (5), we get y = 2 and z = 3.

1.02 Siva bought 6 pencils,. 2 sharpeners and 4 erasers for Rs.16. Satyam bought 5 pencils, 3 sharpeners and 1 eraser for Rs.13.5. Sundaram bought 4 pencils, 3 sharpeners and 3 erasers for RS.12.5. Find the cost of 4 pencils, 4 sh~rpeners and 2 erasers..

Sol: Let price of each pencil, sharpener and eraser be p, sand e respectively. From the data given we get 6p + 2s + 4e:= 16 (1) 5p + 3s + 1e = 13.5 (2) 4p + 3s + 3e = 12.5 . (3) Let us take equations (2) and (3) and eliminate the variable/s, by subtraction (3) from (2) (4) p 2e = 1

-

Then take equation (1) and (2) Multiply (1) by 3 and (2) by 2. and sub~ract one from the other. We get

8p + 10e= 21 Step IV: Substitute these values of the two variables in'one of the three equations to get the value of the third variable. Substitute the value of y and z in equation (1) to get the value of x = 1. Thus the values of the three variables x, y and z that satisfy the three given equations are x = 1; y'= 2 and z = 3

Examples 1.01 If 2 tables and 3 chairs together cost Rs.1800 and 3 tables and 4 chairs together cost Rs.2600, then find the cost of each table and chair separately.

(5)

[(4) x 5] + (5) gives 13p = 26, P = Rs.2. Substituting the value of P in (4), e = Rs.0~5 Substitute these values in (1) to get s = 1.0 Using these values we find that 4 pencils, 4 sharpeners and 2 erasers cost Rs.13. 1.03 The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 7. If the digits are interchanged, the resulting number is 27 more than the original number. .Find the original number.

Sol: Let us take the two digits as x and y. x is ten's digit and y is the unit's digit, hence the number itself is equal to (10x + y).

since sum of the digits is 7, (1) When the digits are interchanged, y becomes the 10x + y ten's digit and x the units digit. The number then becomes (10y + x), since this r:t~mber is 27 more than the original number, we get (10y ...x) - (10x + y) = 27 ~ 9y - 9x = 27 ~ Y- x = 3 (2) On adding (1) and (2) we get y = 10/2 = 5. By substituting the value of y, we get x = 2. Thus the number is 25.

x + 6 = 4(y + 6) = x - 4y = 18 Solving (1) and (2) we get x = 30 and y = 3 Let father's age be twice the son's age in 'p' years. Then we have 30 + p= 2(p + 3)~ p = 24 So, in 24 years the father will be twice as old as his son. ~ .06

Substituting this value. in (2), y = 3 is obtained. Hence the fraction is 1/3.

1) If the number of equations is less than the number of unknowns, then we say the variables are 'indeterminate' or we have an "indeterminate" system of equations. Here, we cannot uniquely determine the values of all the variables. There will be infinite sets of solutions that satisfy the equations. For example, if we take the following two equations in three unknowns,

Chapter - 2

RATIO - PROPORTION - VARIATION RATIO If the values of two quantities A and Bare 4 and 6 respectively, then we say that they are in the ratio 4 : 6 (read as "four is to six"). Ratio is the relation which one quantity bears to another of the same kind, the comparison being made by considering what multiple, part or parts, one quantity is of the other. The ratio of two quantities "a" and "b" is represented as a : b and read as "a is to b". Here, "a" is called antecedent, "b" is the consequent. Since the ratio expresses the number of times one quantity contains the other, it's an abstract quantity. Ratio of any number of quantities is expressed after removing any common factors that ALL the terms of the ratio have. For example, if there are two quantities having values of 4 and 6, their ratio is 4 : '6, Le:, 2 : 3 after taking the common factor 2 between them out. Similarly, if there are three quantities 6, 8 and 18, there is a common factor between all three of them. So, dividing each of the three terms by 2, we get the ratio as 3 : 4 : 9, If two quantities whose values are A and B respectively are in the ratio a : b, since we know that some common factor k(>O) would have been removed from A and B to get the ratio a : b, we can write the original values of the two quantities (Le., A and B) as ak and bk respectively. For example, if the salaries of two persons are in the ratio 7 : 5, we can write their individual salaries as 7k and 5k respectively.

From this we can find that a ratio of greater inequality is diminished and a ratio of less inequality is increased by adding same quantity to both terms, Le., in the ratio a : b, when we add the same quantity x (positive) to both the terms of the ratio, we have the following results if a < b then (a + x) : (b + x) > a : b if a > b then (a + x) : (b + x) < a : b if a = b then (fl + x) : (b + x) = a : b . This idea can also be helpful in questions on Data Interpretation when we need to .compare fractions to find the larger of two given fractions. If two quantities are in the ratio a : b, then the times the total of

the two quantities and the second quantitS'will be equal to

~ a+b

times the total of the two .

quantities.

Examples 2.01 The salaries of David and John are in the ratio of 5 : 9. The sum of their salaries is Rs.35,000. Find their individual salaries.

Sol: Since the ratio is 5 : 9. David's salary is

A ratio a : b can also be expressed as aIb. So if two items are in the ratio 2 : 3, we can say that their ratio is 2/3. If two terms are in the ratio 2, it means that they are in the ratio of 2/1, Le., 2 : 1.

"A ratio is said to be a ratio of greater or less inequality or of equality acCording as antecedent is greater than, less than or equal to consequent". In other words, the ratio a : b where a > b is called a ratio of greater inequality (example 3: 2) the ratio a.: b where a < b is called a ratio of less inequality (example 3 : 5) the ratio a : b where a = b is called a ratio of equality (example 1 : 1)

then a + b + c + d = 4200 (1) We also have a bed -=-=-=-=k(say) 4 6 8 10 So, a = 4k, b = 6k, c = 8k, d = 10k Substituting these values in (1), we get

runs scored by Rahul and Ramesh are

in the ratio of 13 : 7. If Ramesh scored 48 runs less than Rahul, then find their individual runs.

28k = 4200 ~ k = 150

Scl: Since the ratio of the runs of Rahul and Ramesh is 13 : 7, we can take their individual scores as 13k and 7k respectively. So the difference between their scores will be 13k - 7k = 6k, which is given to be 48.

Hence, a = Rs.600, b = Rs.900, c = Rs.1200, d = Rs.1500 2.07 If a : b = 2 : 3 and b : c = 4 : 3, th"enfind the ratio of a : b : c.

6k = 48 ~ k = 8 :. 13k = 104 and 7k = 56 :. Rahul scored 104 runs and Ramesh scored 56 runs. :':.4 What number shall be added to or subtracted from each term of the ratio 7 : 16, so that it becomes equal to 2 : 3?

~

~

Let x be the number to be added to each term of the ratio. Then we have 7+x 2 -=~21 + 3x=32 +2x 16+x 3 :. x = 11. " So, 11 has to be added to each "term to make it 2 : 3.

"

Sol: b is common to both the ratios. Hence rewrite the two ratios such that the b term will be the same in both of them. This can be done by taking b to be the LCM of the two values pertaining to b in the two ratios. Here, these two values are 3 and 4. The LCM is 12. So, we rewrite the two ratios such that b is 12 in both of them. a: b = 2: 3 = 8: 12 (If b is made 12 by multiplying with 4 then 'a' is also multiplied by 4 to give 8) Similarly b: c = 4: 3 = 12 : 9. Hence, a : b : c = 8 : 12 : 9 2.08 If

If three quantities a, band c are such that a : b : : b : c, then we say that they are in CONTINUED PROPROTION. We also get b2 = ac. In such a case, c is said to be the third proportional of a and b. Also, b is said to be the mean proportional of a andc.

PROPORTION

VARIATION

When two ratios are equal, then the four quantities involved in the two ratios are said to be proportional Le., if a!b = c/d, then a, b, c and dare proportional. .

Two quantities A and B may be such that as one quantities changes in value, the other quantity also changes in value bearing certain relationship to the change in the value of the first quantity.

This is represented as a.: b : : c : d and is read as "a is to b (is) as c is to d". When a, b, c and d are in proportion, then a and d are called the EXTREMES and band c are called the MEANS. We also have the relationship Product of the MEANS = Product of the EXTREMESLe., bc:; ad If a:b = c : d then b.: a = ~d: c (1) a:c = b:d (2) (a + b) : b = (c + d) : d (3) (obtained by adding 1 to both sides of the given realationship) . (a - b) : b = (c - d) : d (4) (obtained by subtracting 1 from both sides of the

givenrelationship)

.

(a + b) : (a - b) = (c + d) : (c - d) (5) {obtainded by dividing relationship (3) above by . (4)}

DIRECT VARIATION One quantity A is said to v~rv directly as another quantity B if the two quantities depend upon each other in such a manner that if B is increased in a certain ratio, A is increased in the same ratio and. if B is decreased in a certain ratio, A is decreased

in the sameratio.

. .

This is denoted as A a B (A varies directly as B). If A a B then A = kB, where k is a constant. called a constant of proportionality.

IUs

For example. when the quantity of sugar purchased by a housewife doubles from the normal quantity, the total amount she spends on sugar also doubles, Le., the quantity and the total amount increase (or decrease) in the same ratio.

J;rom the above definition of direct variation, we :an see that when two quantities A and B vary :::fectly with each other, then NB = k or the ratio of the two quantities is a constant. Conversely, Ifhen the ratio of two quantities is a constant, we can conclude that they vary directly with each other.

when B is constant, then A is said to vary jointly with Band C when both Band C are varying. i.e., A a B when C is constant and Aa C when B is a

constant =>A a BC

A a BC => A = kBC where k is. the constant of proportionality .

INVERSE VARIATION A quantity A is said to vary inversely as another quantity B if the two quantities depend upon each other in such a manner that if B is increased in a certain ratio, A is decreased in the same ratio and IT B is decreased in a certain ratio, then A is irjcreasedin the same ratio. i1 is the same as saying that A varies directly with 118. It is denoted as If A a 1/B i.e., A = kIB where s k a constant of proportionality. .

Cor example, as the number of men doing a certain work increases, the time taken to do the work decreases and conversely, as the number of men decreases, the time taken to do the work ncreases. ~rom the definition of inverse variation, we can see that when two quantities A and B vary 'nversely with each other, then AB = a constant, I.e., the product of the two quantities is a constant. Conversely, if the product of two quantities is a constant, we can conclude that they vary inversely with each other. If X varies inversely with Y and we have two sets of values of X and Y - X1 corresponding to Y1 and X2 corresponding to Y2, then since X and Yare inversely re"ated to each other, we can write down X1 Y2

forms of combinations of the two variables. when x varies directly with y, we have x - = k =>x =;'ky Y Here if we have to check whether (x '+ y)2 varies with (x - y)2, we have to take the ratio of these two expressions and check if it is a constant. If the ratio is a constant, then we can conclude that they vary directly with each other.

height of the cylinder, whose volume is 360 cU.ftand the area of the base is 72 sq.ft. Sol: Let V be the volume, a = area of the base

and h = height.

.

V = mah (m is proportionality constant) we know, a = 64, h = 10 and V = 480 480 = m. (64) (10) 3ah =>m=0.75:. V=4 3x72xh Therefore, 360 = 4 h = 360x 4 3x72

(X+y)2 - (~y+y)2 - [y(k+1)]2 - (k+1)2 (X-y)2 - (ky_y)2 - ly(k-1)]2 - (k-1)2 Since this does not involve any x or y, it is constant. Hence, we can conclude that (x + y)2 varies directly with (x - yt

=>h = 20 ft 3

Hence height of the cylinder is 6% ft. Note that the there should be consistency of the units used for the variables, Le., whatever be the units used to express the vp~:ables when the constant of proportionality is being calculated, the same units should be used for different variables later on also when finding the value of the variable which we are asked to find out.

A B Income' . 3x 4x Expenditure 4y 5y Savings 3x - 4y 4x - 5y We have.been given that B saves a third of his income. 4x - 5y = 1/3(4x) => 8x = 15y =>xIy = 15/8 => x = 15.kand y = 8k 3x-4y 3(15k)-4(8k) --=-13k 13 =>-= 4x - 5y 4(15k)- 5(8k) 20k 20

and V be the variable part. So, T = F + V The variable part varies with number of km . travelled

in the month. => V = pn; where n is the number of km travelled in a month, and p is constant of proportionality

.

:. T = F + pn From the given data, we get 3200 = F + P (100) (1) 3800 = F + p (150) (2) Solving (1) and (2), we get p = 12 and F = 2000. :. If Ram travels 250 km, total expenses are T = 2000 + 250(12) = 2000 + 3000 = RS.5,000

The problems involving ratio and proportion are just different forms of the models of the basic problems we saw above. For example, the problem we just solved above might be reframed bringing in Mangoes, Bananas, Baskets, etc. Here, practice and perseverance pay you a lot. In entrance exams, there will be direct problems on ratio or proportion or variation directly or application of these concepts just discussed to areas like Time and Work or Time and Distance.

Conversely, if we know how many times the old value gives the new value, we can find out the percentage increase in the old value to get the new value.

specified for the Cost Price (C.P) or the Sales Price (S.P), the best approach is to assume cost of each unit to be Re. 1 and proceed. Let cost of each pencil be Re.1. Then cost of 10 pencils is Rs.10 and cost of 14 pencils is Rs.14. Since S.P. of 10 pencils is equal to the cost of 14 pencils, which we know is Rs.14, the S.P of 10 pencils RS.14.

is his profit percenta,ge in the transaction?

Sol: Let C.P. be 100, then marked price is 130. On this, a discount of 5% is given. 5% of 130 = 6.5, Hence the product is are sold at

,

Two or more people can get together to do business by pooling their resources. The money put in by each of the partners ,is called his "INVESTMENT" or "CAPITAL." All the people who have invested money in the partnership are called PARTNERS. While two or more partners would have invested money, it is not necessary that all of them should be involved in the day-to-day running of the business. The partners involved in the day-to day activities of the business are called "working partners" and the others are called "sleeping partners" ,Or"dormant partners.".

:. Profit percentage = 23%%

3.26 ~anjay gives a discount of 15% on the marked price and in the process makes a profit of 19%. By what perrpntage did he mark the product over the cost price? Sol: Let C.P. be 100. Then the S.P is 119 (as profit percentage is 19) This S.P. of 119 has been obtained after a discount of 15% on the marked price. In other words, the S.P. is 85% of the marked price. 119 :. Marked Price = -=140 0.85 Since C.P. = 100 and the marked price is 140, we can conclude that Sanjay has marked his product 40% over the cost price. ,

3.27 Ajay sold his cycle ata loss of 9%. If he sold ,

it for RS.75more, he would have made a profit of 16%. Find the cost of the cycle.

Sol: Let cost price be 100. Since he sold at a loss of 9% his S.P would be 91. But, ,if he sold at a profit of 16%, his S.P would be 116 Le. the difference betweelJ the two selling prices is 25. But, we are given that the difference in the two selling prices is Rs.75. If difference between selling prices is 25, the C.P is 100.

:. If differenceis 75,then

'

75 C.P. = -x100=300 25 Hence, the cost price of Ajay's cycle is RS.300.

The profits left after paying the working partners' remuneration/commission are shared amongst all the partners. Sometimes, the partners also take interest on their investments and only the remaining profits are shared by the partners.

Sharing of profits among the partners also depends ,on the understanding between the partners. However, if no special scheme of sharing the profits is specified (in a problem), then the profits are shared based on the investments of the partners. There are three different possibilities that exist here. If the partners invest DIFFERENT amounts each for the SAME period of time, then the profits at the end of the year are shared in the ratio of their investments. If the partners invest the SAME amounts for DIFFERENT periods of time, then the profits at the 'end of the year are shared in the ratio of the time periods for which their respective investments have been in business. If the partners invest DIFFERENT amounts and' the time periods for which their investments are in the business are also DIFFERENT, then the profits at the end of the year are shared in the ratio of the product (investment x time period) for each partner.

If the working partner's commission is Rs.30,000 then, find the total profit.

Sol: Let total profit be P. The profit left after the working partner's commission of Rs.30,OOOis (P - 30,000). .10% of this is the working partner's commission. So we have (0.1)(P - 30,000) = 30,000 :=) (0.1)P = 33,000 :. P = RS.3,30,000

STOCKS AND SHARES A limited company raises capital by floating shares. It is also referred to as stock. The capital required is divided into small units called shares. In India, the generally accepted value for such a unit is RS.10 or RS.100. This is called the Face Value or Par Value. The shares of a public limited company are traded in the market place and depending on the demand for the share, the price fluctuates. The rate at wllich a share is bought or sold in the market is the Market Value of the share. This fluctuates. If the market value is more than the face value of the share, then we say that such a share is quoting at a "premium." If the market value is less than the .face value of the share, then we say that such

ashare

is quoting

at a "discount."

The people who are holding the shares are called shareholders. The company distributes a part of its profits from its operations as dividend to the

shareholders. The dividend is expressed as a perce7ntage of the Par Value. Whenever any company quotes a dividend percentage figure, it goes without saying that it is a percentage of the

facevalue.

.. 10 0 f d IVId en d =

.

.

Dividend Amount

x 100 Par Value Dividend is always calculated only on the 'FACE VALUE' or the 'PAR VALUE' only irrespective of what price the share was purchased at. 01

The government also deals with stock where it issues bonds or other form of stock with a certain face value and a certain assured rate of interest. This stock is then traded in the market as per the regulations of the government. Since the government stock comes with fixed rate of return, the stock is normally referred to by the percentage of the return. For example, if 5% is the rate of return (of stock whose face value is Rs.100), then such stock is referred to as 5% stock. The face value of the government bond is normally RS.100. Supposing this stock yielding 5% return (on face value) is purchased by somebody at Rs.95, then we say that person has purchased "5% stock at 95". Instead, if he purchases it at R&.108, then we say that he has purchased "5% stock at 108". In the case where he purchased 5% stock at 95, to buy one unit of that stock, he pays Rs.95. But since the face value is Rs.100, the return or income he gets at the end of the year will be 5% of 100, Le., RS.5. . In this case, since he receives an income of Rs.5 per year by investin~ Rs.95, his rate of return is 5/95 x 100 which is 5 /19% . To compare two investments (Le., investments in two different stocks), we compare the rate of

. return

for both investments and whichever gives a higher rate of return is a better investment.

If somebody means that Rs.1000. If that person

is the the will

holding Rs.1 000' "worth of stock", it face value of stock he is holding is face value of the stock is Rs.100, be holding 10 units of such stock.

Typical problems in Shares and Stocks may include finding as to which out of given investment is a better one or finding the annual income or change in income from a certain investment or change in portfolio, etc.

3.36 A man owned Rs.2S,000 worth of 6% stock. When it was quoting RS.228 he sold it and invested the proceeds in 7.S% stock quoting at Rs.13S, so that his annual income doubled. How much money was he left with or how much more money was he required to bring in? Sol: Rs.2S,000 worth .of stock means it refers to face value, which is Rs.100. Hence he owned 2S0 units. When he sells at Rs.228, his sales proceeds will be 2S0 x 228 = Rs.S7,OOO. Since each unit sold gave him Rs.6 as income per annum, his annual incomewas' 2S0 x 6 = 1SOO.With the new. instrument, income doubled; new income = 2 x 1S00 = Rs.3,OOO. To get annual income of Rs.3,OOO,he must have bought 3000n.S units = 400 units. Market Price of 7.S% stock was 13S. To buy 400 units he will needed to pay 400 x 13S = Rs.54,Ooo.

The sale proceeds from 6% stock was Rs.S7,OOO.Hence, the difference between

'.~ of the following is a better investment - 4% stock at 84 or 8% stock at 128? '.'e can calculate the rate of return for each :~ these investments and decide which is ~tter. Another approach is to take a certain amount as invested in each of these two stocks and calculate the income from each stock. For this purpose, instead of taking any arbitrary amount, if we take the amount "wested as the product of the market value of both the stocks, calculations' become simple. In this case, let amount invested be 84 x 128. 84x128 In 4% stock we get x4=S12 84 The same amount in 8% stock we get

Rs.S4,OOOand Rs.S7,OOO Le. Rs.3,OOO is the amount he is left with after the transaction.

3.37 A person invests Rs.19,400 in S% stock at 97. He then sells it when it is quoting RS.104. He then reinvests this money in 4% stock at 100, which he sells when the stock is quoting 10S. Find the overall profit of the transaction.

,

Sol: At RS.97 per unit. Rs.19,400

19400/97 = 200 units.

These whe'n sold at RS.104 each, he realises 104 x 200 = Rs.20,800. This is invested in 4% stock at 100. This gets
