Option 2: 3,000 preference shares
Option 3: 3,600 preference shares
Option 4: 36,000 preference shares
Correct Answer: 6,000 preference shares
Solution : Answer = 6000 preference shares
JP Power Ltd. = 9,00,000
(-) Bank = 1,80,000

Number of preference shares issued = $\frac{7,20,000}{120(100+2)}$ = 6000 pref. shares.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
