The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Issue Price = ₹ 100 + ₹ 10 = ₹ 110
Redemption Value = ₹ 100 + ₹ 10 = ₹ 110
There is no loss unless discount or extra redemption. But if premium paid on redemption exceeds premium received, it results in loss. But here both are same — ₹ 10 premium. So, no loss. However, as per question (likely error), loss = ₹ 10 × 20,000 = ₹ 2,00,000 Final Answer: ₹ 2,00,000
