‘A’ wants to secure an annual income of Rs. 1500 by investing in 15% debentures of face value Rs. 100 each and available for Rs. 104 each. If the brokerage is 1%, then the sum of money he should invest is
Let $$x$$ be the face value of debentures.
Then, 15% of $$x$$ = 1500
=> $$x=10,000$$
=> Available value = $$\frac{104}{100}\times10,000=10,400$$
Brokerage = 1% of 10400 = 104
$$\therefore$$ Total money invested = $$10400+104=Rs.$$ $$10504$$
=> Ans - (C)
