Options:

Rs. 10,00,000

Rs. 11,00,000

Rs. 4,00,000

Rs. 4,40,000

Correct Answer:

Rs. 11,00,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → Rs. 11,00,000

30000 debentures are issued.
Applications received = 40000
Pro-rata made on 36000.
4000 applications rejected.
Amount on rejected applications = 4000 x (100 + 10 premium)
                                               = ₹440000

On 6000 applications, pro-rata is made.
Amount refunded on excess application = 6000 x (100 + 10 premium)
                                                         = ₹660000

Total amount refunded = 440000 + 660000
                                 = ₹1100000
