Study the below data and answer the question that follows.

Partners	Percentage of shares
Jeevan	10%
Kiran	15%
Lokesh	8%
Rasool	22%
Meera	45%

The company has issued 10 lakh shares between its five partners. If Jeevan offers to sell 20,000 of his shares to Meera, how many shares will Meera have?

To find the total number of shares Meera will have after the transaction, we first calculate her initial shares and then add the shares she buys from Jeevan.

Step 1: Calculate the total number of shares issued by the company.
The company has issued a total of 10 lakh shares.
Since 1 lakh = 1,00,000, the total shares are:
Total shares = 10 × 1,00,000 = 10,00,000 shares.

Step 2: Find Meera's initial shareholding.
According to the table, Meera holds 45% of the shares.
Initial shares of Meera = 45% of 10,00,000
$\mathrm{Initial\; shares\; of\; Meera}=\frac{45}{100}\times \mathrm{10,00,000}=\mathrm{4,50,000}$

Step 3: Calculate Meera's final share count after buying shares from Jeevan.
Jeevan sells 20,000 of his shares to Meera.
Meera's new share count = Initial shares + Purchased shares
$\mathrm{New\; shares}=\mathrm{4,50,000}+\mathrm{20,000}=\mathrm{4,70,000}$

Therefore, Meera will have 4,70,000 shares. The correct option is 4,70,000.
