Correct Answer:

₹7,54,000

The correct answer is Option (4) - ₹7,54,000.

Shares on which final call not received = 300

Final call per share = ₹20

Amount not received on final call = 300 x 20

Final call due = 38000 x 20
                    = ₹760000

Amount received = 760000 - 6000
                         = ₹754000
