Rs. 720
Number of shares = 9600 / 120 = 80 shares. '9% stock' means a dividend of 9% on the Face Value (Rs. 100), which is Rs. 9 per share. Total dividend = 80 × 9 = Rs. 720.

Rs. 400
Number of shares = Total Investment / Market Value = 5000 / 25 = 200 shares. Dividend per share = 20% of Rs. 10 = Rs. 2. Total annual income = 200 × 2 = Rs. 400.
