Solution

The correct option is B 10

Discount on shares means that shares issued by the company have a market value at a discounted rate which is always less than the face value decided by the company.The government, in order to maintain the discount on shares at a standard level, has prescribed a limit of 10% and every company is bound to have a discount on shares up to 10%. If a company discounts it shares more than 10%, it means that it is violating the government rules.
