    C ₹3.90 crore Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D ₹90 lakh Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E ₹60 lakh Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    No. of shares of the company = share capital/face value = 8,00,00,000/20 = 40,00,000 No. of shares under buy-back = 15% of equity = 15% of 40,00,000 = 6,00,000 shares The capital redemption reserve is created at nominal value of shares i.e. its face value. As such the amount to be transferred will be: No. of shares of buy-back *face value = 6,00,000 * 20 = Rs.1.2 crore
