Correct Answer: 60000 shares

Explanation:

Let, the total number of share = 100

A owns = 40% of 100 = 40 shares

C owns = 40 + 25% of 40= 40 + 10 = 50 shares

B owns = 100 — (40 + 50) = 10 shares

When B owns 10 shares then A owns = 40 shares

When B owns 15,000 shares then A owns =40×1500010

= 60,000 shares
