I hope Mr. XYZ has a good backup plan, because if the Nifty goes to 2900, he's going to be singing the blues. Option C seems like the right choice, but hey, maybe he's got a hidden talent as a fortune teller!

I wonder if Mr. XYZ has a crystal ball or something. I mean, how do you know the Nifty is going to fall? Anyway, the answer is clearly C. Let's hope he doesn't lose his shirt on this one!

This is a classic bearish strategy. I bet Mr. XYZ is secretly hoping the Nifty tanks so he can keep that sweet premium. Option C seems to be the correct answer, though I might have to crunch the numbers again just to be sure.

Yeah, it's a risky move but could pay off well if the Nifty drops as expected.

I think Option C is the correct answer too, but let's double check the calculations just to be safe.

I agree, Mr. XYZ is definitely banking on the Nifty falling below the strike price.

But if Nifty closes at 2400, the net payoff would be -46 and 4, right?

I agree with Alecia, because the strike price is higher than the current Nifty value.

I'm pretty sure the answer is B. If the Nifty closes at 2900, the option will be exercised, and Mr. XYZ will have to pay the difference of 300 (2900 - 2600), which is 146. But if it closes at 2400, he keeps the entire premium of 154. Simple enough!

Exactly, so the answer is B - 202 and 154.

So the net payoff would be 202 if Nifty closes at 2900 and 154 if it closes at 2400.

Yeah, that's right. And he gets to keep the premium of 154 if Nifty closes at 2400.

I think the answer is B too. It makes sense that he would have to pay 146 if Nifty closes at 2900.

Hmm, this seems straightforward. If the Nifty stays at 2600 or below, Mr. XYZ keeps the entire premium of Rs. 154. But if it goes up to 2900, he'll have to pay the difference, which is -146. Looks like option C is the way to go.

Yes, and if Nifty closes at 2400, the net payoff would be -46.
