Answer 1

Dear student, only one question is allowed at a time. I am answering the first question

1)

Expected return of a portfolio is the weighted average of returns of the stocks of the portfolio

Calculations	A	B = A / Total A	C	D = B x C
Particulars	Investment	Percentage of Investment	Expected Return	Weighted Average return
ABC	3000	30%	5	1.50
DEF	4500	45%	12	5.40
GHI	2500	25%	16	4.00
Total	10000			10.90

So, as per above calculations, option A is the correct option
