Option 2: Credited by Rs 105
Option 3: Credited by Rs 5

Correct Answer: Credited by Rs 5
Solution : Answer = Credited by Rs 5
When a debenture is issued at a premium, the premium amount is credited to the Securities Premium Account. In this case, since the debenture is issued at Rs. 105 and is redeemable at Rs. 100, the premium received is Rs. 5, which would be credited to the Securities Premium Account.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
