    The following statements relate to a public company.
    1 Its shares must be offered to the public
    2 It must have a minimum of 50,000 members
    3 It must have a minimum nominal capital of £50,000 in order to trade
    4 Its shares must be listed on a recognised stock exchange
    Which of the following gives the correct position?
    A 1, 3 and 4
    B 1, 2 and 3
    C 1, 2, 3 and 4
    D 3 only

    Is the answer A or D?

    Yes! But what is your choice?

    You didn’t answer if it was A or D? I opted for D.

    I too opt for D. Looking at the options (poor question!) statement 3 MUST be correct. So all we now need to do is consider statement 1. If that too is correct, then we ned to consider statements 2 and 3.

    So, statement 1. Clearly incorrect – a public company may offer its shares to the public, but is not required to. So, if statement 1 is incorrect, that nullifies options A, B and C

    And that leaves option D as the correct one

    OK?
