    C 8%; decreased Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 12%; remained same Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E 11.11%; decreased Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total profit per share = dividend + capital gain = Rs. 100 + (Rs.2700 - Rs.2500) = Rs. 300 per share % return = total return/cost = 300/2500 = 12%. The percentage return is unaffected by the number of shares till the cost of purchase remains the same.
