Solution

Money invested =Rs 10,000 

For 6 %  shares: 

Market value = Rs 75 

Amount invested =Rs 4,500 

Income from investment= Rs `6/75 xx 4500` = Rs 360

For 8 %  shares: 

Market Value = Rs 100 

Amount invested = Rs 2,500 

Income from investment = Rs `8/100 xx 2500`= Rs 200

For 16 % shares: 

Market value = Rs x 

Amount invested =Rs ( 10,000-4,500-2,500) =Rs 3,000 

Income from investment = Rs `16/x xx 3000` = Rs `48000/x`

Total investment from shares = Rs360 + Rs200 +Rs `48000/x`

Krithika wants 8 % return on his investment 

`8/100 xx  "Rs"  10000` = Rs 800

Therefore, 

Rs 800 = Rs 360 + Rs 200 + Rs `48000/x`

Rs 240x = Rs 48, 000

x = Rs200 

Hence, Krithika bought 16 %  shares at Rs 200 per share.
