Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (c) an overall rise in prices of shares of group of companies registered with Bombay Stock Exchange
The SENSEX is a free-float market-capitalisation-weighted index of 30 representative companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange; a rise in the SENSEX therefore signals an overall rise in the share prices of this group of BSE-listed companies, not of every company on the exchange.
