    Solution

    ATQ, Let's denote the investment amount as . P = Rs.3000 For the first year, the dividend is of : 10% of P Dividend for the First year is : 0.10 × P For the second year, the dividend is of : 15% of P Dividend for the Second year is : 0.15 × P For the third year, the dividend is of : 25% of P  Dividend for the Third year is : 0.25 × P Now, add these dividends to get the total dividend received: Total Dividend = Dividend for First + second + third year  Substitute the values and solve: Total Dividend = 0.10 × P + 0.15 × P  + 0.25 × P Total Dividend 0.50 × P Substitute  P : Rs.3000. Total Dividend = 0.50 × Rs.3000 = Rs.1500 So, the total dividend received is Rs.1500
