✅ Correct Option: 3

For first investment in HUL:

Initial amount = $3600000$

Buy price Monday = $1933$

Number of shares = $\lfloor\frac{3600000}{1933}\rfloor = 1862$ shares

Sell price Wednesday = $1979$

Proceeds = $1862 \times 1979 = 3684898$

For second investment in Britannia:

Amount available = $3684898$

Buy price Wednesday = $3115$

Number of shares = $\lfloor\frac{3684898}{3115}\rfloor = 1183$ shares

Sell price Friday = $3140$

Final value = $1183 \times 3140 = 3714620$

For total return calculation:

Initial investment = $3600000$

Final value = $3714620$

Return = $\frac{3714620 - 3600000}{3600000} \times 100$

$= \frac{114620}{3600000} \times 100$

$= 3.184\%=\text{approximately }3.2\%$
