Solution

The correct option is A 24,931 & 24,950
Here, the divisible profit is Rs 2,50,558 and redemption price of 4500 shares is Rs 100 each i.e Rs 4,50,000. Now the balance left for equity shares is Rs 4,50,000-Rs 2,50,558 i.e. 1,99,442. Equity shares are issued at Rs 10 per share with 20% discount i.e Rs 10- Rs 2 i.e. Rs 8 per share which means number of shares to be issued will be Rs 1,99,442/Rs 8 i.e. 24,931 shares. If shares are issued in multiple of 50, then 24,950 shares will be issued as 24931 is minimum amount of shares and it cannot be 24,900.
