Answer
Let the investment in 8% ₹100 shares be ₹x, then the investment in 9% ₹50 shares = ₹(101520 - x)
8% ₹100 shares are at 8% discount
∴ Market Value of one 8% ₹100 share = ₹100 - 8% of ₹100 = ₹92
9% ₹50 shares are at 8% premium
∴ Market Value of one 9% ₹50 share = ₹50 + 8% of ₹50 = ₹54
But the annual incomes from both the investments should be equal
∴ Investment in 8% ₹100 shares at ₹92 = ₹49680
and Investment in 9% ₹50 shares at ₹54 = ₹51840
