The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Total number of shares applied = 1,00,000
Step 2: Total shares issued = 90,000
Allotment was made on pro-rata basis, so application money will be received only for 90,000 shares. Step 3: Calculate issue price per share:
Face Value = ₹ 10, Premium = 10% of ₹ 10 = ₹ 1
Total Issue Price = ₹ 11 per share Step 4: Calculate total amount received:
\[ 90,000 \times 11 = ₹ 9,90,000 \]
