Options:

₹ 80,000

₹ 6,00,000

₹ 5,80,000

₹ 6,15,000

Correct Answer:

₹ 80,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → ₹ 80,000

Money due on call = 3000 shares x 20
                           = 60000

Allotment money not received on 600 shares is 20,000

This total amount received on call = 60000 + 20000
                                                  = ₹80000
