Answer

C.P. of shares = ₹ 800,

Cost of 1 share = ₹ 5

No. of shares = 8005\dfrac{800}{5} = 160.

Premium = ₹ 1.15

Market value of 1 share = ₹ 5 + ₹ 1.15 = ₹ 6.15

S.P. of shares = 160 × ₹ 6.15 = ₹ 984.

Profit = ₹ 984 - ₹ 800 = ₹ 184.

Profit %=ProfitC.P.×100=184800×100=1848=23%\text{Profit } \% = \dfrac{\text{Profit}}{\text{C.P.}} \times 100 \\[1em] = \dfrac{184}{800} \times 100 \\[1em] = \dfrac{184}{8} \\[1em] = 23\%

Hence, profit = ₹ 184 and profit % = 23%.
