पर्याय

• 1,500 shares; ₹ 6,300.

• 1,800 shares; ₹ 6,300.

• 1,500 shares; ₹ 6,000.

• 3,000 shares; ₹ 3,150.

Answer 1

1,500 shares; ₹ 6,300.

Explanation:

Pro rata ratio:

50,000 : 1,20,000 = 5 : 12

Shares allotted to Raman:

`3,600 xx 5/12 = 1,500` shares

Excess application money:

(3,600 − 1,500) × ₹ 3 = ₹ 6,300​

Therefore, Raman was allotted 1,500 shares and ₹ 6,300 was adjusted towards allotment.
