Correct answer: (C) ₹790
"5% stock at 92" means ₹100 of stock (face value) costs ₹92 + ₹1 brokerage = ₹93 and pays ₹5 a year. Stock bought = ₹14,694/93 × 100 = ₹15,800 (face value). Income = 5% of ₹15,800 = ₹790. (Taking 5% of the cash invested gives ₹734.7, the standard mistake — dividend is paid on face value.)

सही उत्तर: (C) ₹790
"92 पर 5% स्टॉक" का अर्थ है ₹100 अंकित मूल्य का स्टॉक ₹92 + ₹1 दलाली = ₹93 में मिलता है और वर्ष में ₹5 देता है। खरीदा गया स्टॉक = ₹14,694/93 × 100 = ₹15,800 (अंकित मूल्य)। आय = ₹15,800 का 5% = ₹790। (निवेशित नकद का 5% लेने पर ₹734.7 आता है, जो सामान्य भूल है — लाभांश अंकित मूल्य पर मिलता है।)
