Answer

"10% ₹ 120 shares at ₹ 1,200"

Here's what this means:

Face value of share = ₹ 120

Dividend rate = 10% of face value = ₹ 12 dividend per share

Market price = ₹ 1,200 (i.e., each share is being sold at ₹ 1,200)

So the share is selling at a premium of ₹ 1,200 − ₹ 120 = ₹ 1,080.

So, reason (R) is true.

The company is in profit if it distributes dividends, which is indicated by the 10% dividend rate in the share quotation.

So, assertion (A) is true.

Thus, both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are correct, and Reason (R) is incorrect reason for Assertion (A).

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
