The question in the image reads:

"A man buys Rs. 100 shares of a certain company, which pays a dividend of 15%, at Rs. 115. If he invested a sum of Rs. 23,000 in the company, what profit does he get at the end of the year?"

### Solution:

#### Step 1: Determine the number of shares he bought.
- The price per share is Rs. 115.
- The total amount invested is Rs. 23,000.

The number of shares bought can be calculated as:
\[
\text{Number of shares} = \frac{\text{Total amount invested}}{\text{Price per share}} = \frac{23000}{115} = 200 \text{ shares}.
\]

#### Step 2: Calculate the dividend per share.
- The face value of each share is Rs. 100.
- The company pays a 15% dividend on the face value.

So, the dividend per share is:
\[
\text{Dividend per share} = 15\% \times 100 = 0.15 \times 100 = 15 \text{ Rs.}
\]

#### Step 3: Calculate the total dividend (profit).
Since the man owns 200 shares, the total dividend is:
\[
\text{Total profit (dividend)} = 200 \times 15 = 3000 \text{ Rs.}
\]

So, the profit the man receives at the end of the year is **Rs. 3,000**.

### Relative Questions:
1. How would the profit change if the dividend rate were 20% instead of 15%?
2. What if the man had invested Rs. 30,000? How many shares would he have bought?
3. How is the face value of a share different from its market price?
4. What would the return on investment (ROI) be in this case?
5. How does the dividend yield affect the overall return on a stock investment?

### Tip:
Always remember that dividends are calculated based on the face value of shares, not the market price at which they were purchased.
