The question is " Daily Share Price Variability (SPV) is defined as (Day's high price - Day's low price) / (Average of the opening and closing prices during the day). Which among the shares A, C, D and F had the highest SPV on that day? "

Solution:

SPV for A = (2400 - 1200) / ((2200 + 1800) / 2) = 1200 / 2000 = 0.6

SPV for C = (1400 - 800) / ((800 + 1200) / 2) = 600 / 1000 = 0.6

SPV for D = (1200 - 300) / ((500 + 1000) / 2) = 900 / 750 = 1.2

SPV for F = (2000 - 1200) / ((1800 + 1600) / 2) = 800 / 1700 = 0.47

SPV for D is the highest among A, C, D and F.

Hence, the answer is 'C'

Choice D is the correct answer.
