Correct Answer:

₹1,600

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3- ₹1,600.


Called up amount = 400 X 15
                          = ₹6,000
Paid up amount = 400 X 11
                       = ₹4,400

Amount not paid by the shareholders = 400 X 4
                                                      = ₹1,600
