WORKING NOTES:-
Calculation of amount to be transferred to capital reserve:-
Bajaj has paid Rs.5,000 and the Directors of the company have reissued 150 shares out of 200. so,
Bajaj = 5,000*150/200
=3,750
Share forfeiture Cr. = Rs.3,750
(-)Share forfeiture Dr. = Rs.1,500
Capital Reserve = Rs.2,250
Hence amount to be transferred to capital reserve is Rs.2,250.
Therefore, option (b)2,250 is correct
