explain? 29 B
ha B hona chahiye.. blunder kar diya.. A 6% stock bole toh one that gives interest of 6% per year.. so here dividend is given as 3600 so 6% is 3600 100% will be 60000. Now the stock is not at Face Value.. It is at premium of 5% so add 5% of 60000 i.e 3000 hence 63000

simple sa example le lo yar.. suppose if the current value is 10 and after 2 years the value increases.. suppose i increase it by 20% then it becomes 12. now agar 10 wapas chahiye toh it should be decreased by 16.66%. but if i am reducing it by 12.5% then the value will become 10.5 so the value is increasing. also y>100y/100-y means y should be greater than 1. which is obvious if you understand that there is an end point to be reached

Labor allocation is a very important process. A particular weaving section has 20 hours looms and with five laborer €™s loom efficiency is 75% and production of a loom at 100% efficiency is 10 meter per hour. Salary of a laborer is Rs. 11000 per month. I removed one laborer due to which efficiency came down to 70%. How much did I gain or lose due to this action? Assume that profit on one meter cloth is Rs. 4 and looms are working for 30 days in a month and 10 hours per day.
