Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D


Selling amount of shares on Friday ` = 0 . 8 X xx (5)/(9) xx 35 `= Rs. ` (140 X)/(9)`
Total commission while selling on Friday `= [100 + 10% of ((140 X)/(9)-3000)] = ((14X)/(9)-200)`
According to questions
`(140 X)/( 9) - ((14 x)/(9 ) - 200) = 5240`
`rArr (126 X)/( 9) = 5040`
x = 360
