Answer is (b).

{All figures in millions }
No.of shares as on 30th June 2005 is $100/$1 = 100 shares.

On 1 Sept 2005
Bonus Issue
(100/2)*1 = 50 shares.
50 shares * $1 = $50
Entry is:
Dr. Share Premium $ 50
Cr. Share Capital $ 50

On 1 Jan 2006
No. of shares on this date is 100 + 50 = 150 shares.

Rights Issue
(150/5)*2 = 60 shares.
60 shares * $ 1.50 = $90
Only $1 per share goes to the share capital. Balance of $0.50 per share goes to the share premium.
$1 * 60 = $60
$0.50 * 60 =$30
total $90
Entry is:
Dr. Cash/Bank $90
Cr. Share Capital $60
Cr. Share Premium $30

Share Capital as on 30th June 2006
$100(opening balance) + $50(bonus issue) + $60(rights issue) = $210
Share Premium as on 30th June 2006
$80(opening balance) - $50(bonus issue) + $30(rights issue) = $60

Hope that helps
