A - 5% at 143

B - 7/2 % at 93

C - both are just as great

Let the investment in each stock be Rs (143*93).
Income from 5% stock at 143
By investing Rs 143, income=Rs 5
By investing Rs (143*93), income = Rs (5/143*143*93) = Rs 465.
Income from 7/2%stock at 93
By investing Rs 93, income =Rs 7/2.
By investing Rs (143*93), income = Rs (7/2*1/93*143*93) = Rs 500.50.

If investment is Rs 8.25, income= Rs 3/5.
If investment is Rs 4455, income = Rs (3/5*1/8.25*4455)
= Rs (3/5 * 100/825*4455) = Rs 324.

C.P. of 20 share=Rs (45*20) =Rs900.
Face value of 20 share= Rs (50*20) = Rs 1000.
∴ 27/2 * 1/100*1000= x/100*900 ⇒ 9x = 135 ⇒ x = 15.
So, rate of interest obtained is 15%.
