If the company has issued 8 lakh shares between its 6 partners and if Varma offers to sell 10000 of his shares to Pandey, then how many shares will Pandey have?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 50000.

Total shares = 800000

Initial shares of Pandey = 5% of 800000 = 40000

Varma's initial share = 30% of 800000 = 240000

Varma offers 10000 of his shares to Pandey 

Now, Pandey's shares = 40000 + 10000 = 50000

So,

Pandey will have 50000 shares
