Answer

Given,

Face Value = ₹ 40

Premium rate = 25%

Premium = 25% of 40 = 25100×40\dfrac{25}{100} \times 40 = ₹ 10

Number of shares = 280

Market Value = Face Value + Premium = 40 + 10 = ₹ 50

By formula,

Investment = Number of shares × Market Value of each share

= 280 × 50 = ₹ 14,000.

Hence, Option 1 is the correct option.
