Options:

21.93%

19.72%

20.84%

21.07%

Correct Answer:

21.93%

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → 21.93%

Shareholders’ Funds = Equity Share Capital (₹4,00,000) + Preference Share Capital (₹1,00,000) + General Reserve (₹1,84,000)
                              = ₹6,84,000
Return on Shareholders’ Funds (ROSF)= [Net Profit after Tax/ Shareholders’ Funds] * 100
ROSF= (1,50,0006,84,000) * 100 = 21.93%
