Solution

Let the investment in each case be ₹ (120 × 135)

Case 1: Income from 7% of ₹ 100 shares at ₹ 120 = `7/120 xx (120 xx 135)`

= 7 × 135

= ₹ 945

Case 2: Income from 8% of ₹ 100 shares at ₹ 135 = `8/135 xx (120 xx 135)`

= 8 × 120

= ₹ 960

∴ 8% of 100 shares at ₹ 135 is better investment.
