Options:

990

1000

900

1100

Correct Answer:

1100

Explanation:

No. of debentures issued = Purchase Consideration / Issue Price of a Debenture
                                         = 99000 / 90
                                         = 1100
* issue price of debenture = Face value - discount
                                          = 100 -(100 x10/100)
                                          = 100-10
                                          = ₹90
