(i) No application was rejected altogether since pro rata allotment was made to all the applicants.
(ii) Pro rata ratio = No. of shares allotted : No. of shares applied
=80,000 : 1,30,000 or 8:13.
It means that 8 shares are allotted to an applicant who has applied for 13 shares.
(iii) No. of shares allotted to X = `(80,000)/(1,30,000)xx52,000` or `(8)/(13)xx52,000`=32,000 shares.
(iv) No. of shares applied by Y = `(1,30,000)/(80,000)xx16,000` or `(13)/(8)xx16,000` = 26,000 shares.
