Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

We need to find the Issued Capital of Diwan Ltd. from the given information.
Step 1: Understand the term "Issued Capital".
Issued Capital is that part of the Authorised Capital which is offered by the company to the public for subscription. It is the nominal value of shares issued by the company.
Step 2: Identify the issued capital from the given information.
The question states:
"The company invited applications for issuing 50,000 shares."
Face value per share = ₹ 100 Therefore, Issued Capital = Number of shares issued × Face value per share \[ \text{Issued Capital} = 50,000 \times 100 = ₹ 50,00,000 \] Step 3: Analyze each option.

• (A) ₹ 1,00,00,000: Incorrect. This is the Authorised/Registered Capital.
• (B) ₹ 1,00,000: Incorrect. This is the number of authorised shares, not the issued capital amount.
• (C) ₹ 50,00,000: ✓ Correct. This matches the issued capital calculated.
• (D) ₹ 50,000: Incorrect. This is the number of issued shares, not the capital amount.

Final Answer: (C) ₹ 50,00,000
