Answer
Given,
Face value = ₹ 100
Market value = ₹ 150
Dividend rate = 12%
By formula,
Annual income = No. of shares × Rate of div. × N.V. of 1 share
However, the investment was ₹ 150 (the market price), not ₹ 100.
So, an investment of ₹100 does not give ₹ 12 in income — ₹ 12 is earned on ₹ 150.
∴ Assertion (A) is false.
By formula,
Annual income = No. of shares × Rate of div. × N.V. of 1 share
This means the income does depend on the face value, not the market value.
∴ Reason (R) is true.
Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
