A 12% stock yielding 10% is quoted at
Answer: D
In stock problems, a "\( r\% \) stock at \( m \)" means Rs. 100 of face value costs Rs. \( m \) and pays Rs. \( r \) a year, so the yield on money invested is \( \tfrac{r}{m} \).
\[ \frac{12}{m} = 10\% \quad\Longrightarrow\quad m = \frac{12}{0.10} = \text{Rs. } 120 \]
A yield below the dividend rate means the stock trades above par - which rules out the Rs. 83.33 option at once.
