Q4.

Q5.
While announcing their returns for periods shorter than a year, liquid schemes are never permitted to use annualised return.
Q6.
Which of the following is the SEBI-prescribed method of disclosing returns, by all schemes for time periods longer than a year?

Q9.

Q10.
On Jan 1, 2012, an investor bought 110 units at Rs. 10 per unit. On April 1, 2012 the scheme declared a dividend of Rs.1 and the ex-dividend NAV of the scheme became Rs.11. What is the new unit holding if the dividend is re-invested in the scheme?
