The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Face value of each debenture = ₹100
Issued at a discount of 5% $\Rightarrow$ Issue price = ₹95
Redeemable at a premium of 10% $\Rightarrow$ Redemption value = ₹110

Effective liability per debenture = ₹110
But Rohini Ltd. will receive only ₹95 per debenture now
Company is buying machinery worth ₹9,50,000

Number of debentures = ₹9,50,000 $÷$ ₹110 = 8,636.36 ≈ 8,636
