Calculation:

The sum of money invested at 10% is = 2/10 × 20000 = 4000, then after 1year dividend will be 4000 × 10/100 = 400

The sum of money invested at 30% is = 3/10 × 20000 = 6000, then after 1year dividend will be 6000 × 30/100 = 1800

The sum of money invested at 20% is = 5/10 × 20000 = 10000, then after 1year dividend will be 10000 × 20/100 = 2000

The total dividend income of the man = (400 + 1800 + 2000) = Rs. 4200

∴ The correct answer is Rs. 4200
