The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The issue price of each share includes the face value and premium: \[ {Issue Price} = Rs.100 + 10\% { of } Rs.100 = Rs.110. \] Step 1: Calculate the number of shares issued:
The total value of assets purchased is Rs.28,60,000. The number of shares issued is calculated by dividing the total amount by the issue price: \[ {Number of Shares} = \frac{ {Total Amount}}{ {Issue Price}} = \frac{Rs.28,60,000}{Rs.110}. \] Step 2: Perform the division:
\[ {Number of Shares} = \frac{Rs.28,60,000}{Rs.110} = 26,000 { shares}. \] Conclusion:
The number of shares issued to Ganpati Ltd. is \( 26,000 \).
