✓Answer
(d) ₹900
Explanation:
Nominal value of one share = ₹75
Discount = 20%
Discount on one share = \frac{20}{100} × 75
⇒ Discount on one share = ₹15
Market value of one share = Nominal value − Discount
⇒ Market value of one share = ₹75 − ₹15
⇒ Market value of one share = ₹60
Number of shares purchased = 15
Total investment = 15 × ₹60
⇒ Total investment = ₹900
