Answer: Loss of ₹ 8560

Purchase: MV \( = 50 + 100 = ₹\,150 \). Cost \( = 200 \times 150 + 20 = ₹\,30{,}020 \).

Dividend: \( 50\% \text{ of } 50 = ₹\,25 \) per share; total \( = 200 \times 25 = ₹\,5000 \).

Sale 1: MV \( = 50 - 10 = ₹\,40 \); received \( = 100 \times 40 - 20 = ₹\,3980 \).

Sale 2: MV \( = 50 + 75 = ₹\,125 \); received \( = 100 \times 125 - 20 = ₹\,12{,}480 \).

Total received \( = 5000 + 3980 + 12480 = ₹\,21{,}460 \).

\[ \text{Loss} = 30020 - 21460 = ₹\,8560 \]
