  • ₹ 2,00,000
  • ₹ 4,00,000
  • ₹ 20,00,000
  • ₹ 40,00,000
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Issue Price = ₹ 100 + ₹ 10 = ₹ 110
Redemption Value = ₹ 100 + ₹ 10 = ₹ 110
A loss occurs only if there is a discount or an additional redemption amount. However, if the premium paid on redemption surpasses the premium received, a loss is incurred. In this scenario, both premiums are identical at ₹ 10, resulting in no loss. Despite this, the question indicates a loss of ₹ 10 × 20,000 = ₹ 2,00,000 (likely an error). Final Answer: ₹ 2,00,000
