Explanation

To earn Rs. 1 dividend from the 9% stock priced at 96, the investment required is Rs. (96 ÷ 9) = Rs. 32/3. For the 12% stock priced at 120, the investment needed for Rs. 1 dividend is Rs. (120 ÷ 12) = Rs. 10. Therefore, the required investment ratio to get equal dividends is (32/3) : 10, which simplifies to 32 : 30 or 16 : 15.
