The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Principal sum = Rs. 13,200 and rate of interest = 14%
\(\rightarrow\)Interest earned =\(\frac{14}{100}\times13200=Rs.1848\)
Thus, number of shares purchased=\(\frac{13200}{110}=120\)
\(\rightarrow\)Income from stock = (15% of Rs. 100) x 120
\(\rightarrow 15×120=Rs.1800\)
Therefore, Loss =\(1848-1800=Rs.48\)
The correct answer is (A) : Loses Rs. 48
