Options:

₹2

₹4

₹1

₹3

Correct Answer:

₹2

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1- ₹2.

Face value per share = 10
Premium = 10 x 20/100
               = 2

Application money = 30% i.e 3
Allotment money = 50% including premium i.e. 5 including premium of 2. Allotment money without premium is 3.

Two Calls = 10- 3- 3
                = 4

4 is for two calls of equal amount.

Ist call = 4/2
            = ₹2
