Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Stock A price initially = Rs. 50. Investment in A = Rs. 100, so number of shares of A = 100/50 = 2.
Next day price of A = Rs. 55, so selling value = 2 × 55 = Rs. 110. Profit from A = 110 - 100 = Rs. 10.
Stock B price initially = Rs. 80. Investment in B = Rs. 80, so number of shares of B = 80/80 = 1.
Next day price of B = Rs. 70, so selling value = 1 × 70 = Rs. 70. Loss from B = 80 - 70 = Rs. 10.
Net profit = 10 - 10 = Rs. 0.
Therefore, the profit made by the investor is Rs. 0.
