Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Calculation of Security Premium Reserve A/c:
The premium amount is calculated as the 15% premium on the face value of Rs 8,00,000. \[ \text{Premium} = 8,00,000 \times \frac{15}{100} = 1,20,000 \] This amount should be credited to the "Security Premium Reserve A/c".
