Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Capital Redemption Reserve (CRR) is created for that part of the face value of preference shares redeemed out of profits, i.e., not covered by a fresh equity issue.

Face value of fresh equity issued = 5,000×10=50,0005{,}000 \times 10 = 50{,}000.

CRR = 1,00,000−50,000=50,0001{,}00{,}000 - 50{,}000 = 50{,}000.
