₹1,00,000

Correct Answer:

₹1,20,000

Explanation:

Total debentures issued = Amount of debentures/ Face value
                                       = 800000/100
                                       = 8000
8000 debentures are issued at premium that is 15% of face value
Premium = 100 x 15/100
               = 15
Total amount of premium = 8000 debentures x 15
                                         = 120000
