Solution: The resultant percentage will be the weighted average of the percentages of the above two stocks.

=> $$\frac{\left(1800\ \cdot\ 0.3\right)+\left(600\ \cdot\ 0.3\right)}{1800+600}\cdot100$$

=> $$\frac{\left(540\right)+\left(180\right)}{2400}\cdot100$$

=> $$\frac{720}{2400}\cdot100$$ => 30%

Therefore, C is the correct answer.
