I dont think its a good GMAT question. Source please.
Few things you need to know about shares to answer such questions.
Dividend is paid on the original value (face value) of a share. We dont know the face value of the share. we dont know if the person baught it from share market or directly from company.
Answer E.

Agreed! The question is too vague to answer- best to ignore and move on, since you'll never see something like this on a real GMAT.durgesh79 wrote:I dont think its a good GMAT question. Source please.
