Options:

₹500000

₹300000

₹395000

Correct Answer:

₹495000

Explanation:

Per share amount on call = 10 - 2(application)- 3(allotment)
                                        = ₹5
Mr. A did not pay call amount on his shares
He applied for 3000 shares
Shares allotted to him = 100000/300000 x 3000
                                    = 1/3 x 3000
                                    = 1000
Money received on first and final call on (100000 - 1000) shares means 99000 shares
Total amount received on call = 99000 x 5
                                              = ₹495000
