Rohan to whom 600 shares were allotted failed to pay the allotment money and his shares were forfeited immediately after allotment.
Aman who applied for 1,050 shares failed to pay first call and his shares were forfeited immediately after first call.

Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → ₹8,55,000
The first call is made only on the shares still held after Rohan's 600 shares were forfeited.
Shares on which first call is due = 30,000 − 600 = 29,400
First call due = 29,400 × ₹30 = ₹8,82,000
Aman applied for 1,050 shares, so he was allotted 1,050 × 30,000/35,000 = 900 shares.
First call not paid by Aman = 900 × ₹30 = ₹27,000
Money received on first call = ₹8,82,000 − ₹27,000 = ₹8,55,000
