2,06,000 shares

1,98,000 shares

Correct Answer:

1,98,000 shares

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) - 1,98,000 shares.

Allotted shares = 200000
Forfeited shares of Rahul = 8000
Reissued shares of Rahul = 6000

Shares shown as fully subscribed = allotted shares - forfeited shares + reissued shares
                                                 = 200000 - 8000 + 6000
                                                 = 198000
