  1. 1.67%

    Correct answer

  2. B

    1.23%

  3. C

    12.75%

  4. D

    2.19%

Why this is the answer

A 100% dividend on ₹2 face value equals ₹2 per share. With 500 shares, the total dividend is 500 × 2 = ₹1,000. Dividend yield is calculated as (Dividend ÷ Investment) × 100 = (1,000 ÷ 60,000) × 100 = 1.67%.
