₹95,000

₹1,25,000

₹2,50,000

Correct Answer:

₹1,25,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3- ₹1,25,000.

Money received by the company = 15,000 shares x 50
                                                    = ₹7,50,000

Application rejected = 2,500 shares
Refunded amount  = 2,500 x 50
                              = ₹1,25,000

Amount transferred to share capital A/c = 10,000 shares x 50
                                                               = ₹5,00,000

Money adjusted towards allotment  = 7,50,000 - 1,25,000 -5,00,000
                                                           = ₹1,25,000
