Detailed Solution & Explanation

To calculate the weighted average number of shares outstanding at the end of the year under AS 20:
1. Outstanding on 1 April, 2023: 1,50,000 shares for 12 months.
2. Issued on 1 November, 2023: 50,000 shares for 5 months.
3. Bought back on 1 February, 2024: 32,000 shares for 2 months.
4. Weighted Average Number of Shares outstanding is:
Weighted Average=1,50,000×1212+50,000×51232,000×212\text{Weighted Average} = 1,50,000 \times \frac{12}{12} + 50,000 \times \frac{5}{12} - 32,000 \times \frac{2}{12}Weighted Average=1,50,000+20,833.335,333.33=1,65,500\text{Weighted Average} = 1,50,000 + 20,833.33 - 5,333.33 = 1,65,500
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
