Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- ₹40,000.

Subscribed but not fully paid-up capital
300 equity shares of Rs. 100 each fully called up            30,000
Less: Calls-in-arrears
         (300×20)                                                                 6,000
                                                                                
Add: Share forfeiture A/c
        (200 shares × Rs. 80)                                             16,000 
Balance                                                                        = 30,000 - 6,000 + 16,000
                                                                                    = 40,000
