    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    Given that, the face value of a share = Rs. 60
    The price at which the share is bought = Rs. 60 - Rs. 6 = Rs. 54
    The number of shares = 80
    So, total investment = 80 * 54 = Rs. 4320
    Dividend = 12%
    Dividend per share = 60 * 12/100 = 7.2
    Total dividend = 80 * 7.2 = 576
    He earned a dividend of 576 for an investment of Rs. 4320
    So, the interest obtained = * 100 = 13.3%
