    Answer the questions based on the following information. The given data in the table show the prices (for both buying and selling) of five different stocks over a period of one week.

     

    Note: 1. Aman purchased 9000 shares of BECL and 1700 shares of SBI on the 2nd day and sold all the shares of both companies on the 3rd days. In the process, his profit or loss is nil.

    2. Average of the prices of shares on day 7 of all the companies together was Rs. 827

    Find the difference between average of the prices of shares on day 3 and Average of the prices of shares on day 7 of all the companies together?

    A Rs. 185 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 240 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.138 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.250 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

      From note 1, Loss by selling SBI = (449 – 359) × 1700= 90 × 1700 = Rs.1,53,000 That means he has earned Rs. 1,53,000 by selling 9000 shares of BECL. C.P. of 9000 shares of BECL on 2nd day = 99 x 9000 = 8,91,000 ∴ S.P of 9000 shares of BECL on 3rd day = 8,91,000 + 1,53,000 = Rs. 10,44,000 ∴ S.P. of 1 share of BECL on 3rd day =  1044000/9000 = Rs.116   From note 2, total price of shares on day 7 of all the companies together = 827 × 5 = Rs.4135 ∴ Price of  NTPC on 7th day = 4135 – (1209 + 440 + 330 + 1400) = 4135 – 3379 = 756 Average price on Day 3 =622+116+852+396+1224/5 = 3210/5 = 642 Average price on Day 7 = 827 ( given in note 2) ∴Required difference = 827 - 642 = 185

C.P. of 9000 shares of BECL on 2nd day = 99 x 9000 = 8,91,000 ∴ S.P of 9000 shares of BECL on 3rd day = 8,91,000 + 1,53,000 = Rs. 10,44,000 ∴ S.P. of 1 share of BECL on 3rd day =  1044000/9000  = Rs.116   From note 2, total price of shares on day 7 of all the companies together = 827 × 5 = Rs.4135 ∴ Price of  NTPC on 7th day = 4135 – (1209 + 440 + 330 + 1400) = 4135 – 3379 = 756 price of NTPC on the 2ndday  =Rs. 750 price of ONGC on the 6th day = Rs. 1,250 ∴Required ratio = 750 : 1250 = 3 : 5
