Options:

₹4320

₹5320

₹6320

₹7320

Correct Answer:

₹4320

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (1) : ₹4320

₹100 share is quoted at 20% premium means ₹100 share can be bought for ₹120

Hen income is ₹15, the investment = ₹120

When income is 540, the investment $= ₹\left(\frac{120}{15}×540\right)$

$=₹4320$
