Show Hint
Debenture interest is calculated on the face value, not on the issue price.
Step 1: Calculate the total debenture amount.
The face value of each debenture is ₹100, and 30,000 debentures were issued. Therefore:
\[
\text{Total face value} = 30,000 \times ₹100 = ₹30,00,000.
\]
Step 2: Calculate the annual interest.
The interest rate is 10%, so the total interest for one year is:
\[
\text{Total interest} = 10% \times ₹30,00,000 = ₹3,00,000.
