पर्याय

• ₹ 1,00,000 and Nil.

• ₹ 10,000 and ₹ 60,000.

• Nil and ₹ 1,00,000.

• Nil and ₹ 10,000.

Answer 1

₹ 10,000 and ₹ 60,000.

Explanation:

Applications for 20,000 shares were rejected, so refund:

20,000 × ₹ 3 = ₹ 60,000

For the remaining 90,000 shares, excess application money adjusted towards allotment:

(90,000 × ₹ 3) − (40,000 × ₹ 3) = ₹ 1,50,000

Allotment due:

40,000 × ₹ 4 = ₹ 1,60,000

Amount received on allotment:

₹ 1,60,000 − ₹ 1,50,000 = ₹ 10,000

Therefore, ₹ 10,000 was received and ₹ 60,000 was refunded.
