Options:

₹2,00,000

₹50,000

₹1,50,000

Correct Answer:

₹50,000

Explanation:

In the lump sum method of issuing shares, the entire amount of the shares is collected at the time of application.
Number of shares issued = 20000
Face value per share = Rs 10
Applications received = 5000
Amount to be debited in the Bank A/c = Number of shares applied for * Face value per share Amount to be debited in the Bank A/c
                                                          = 5000 * Rs 10 = Rs 50000
