Answer #1

Answer:- c

According to relevant section,a person should have to pay tax on gains from sale of gifted properties.

As this stock has been sold before one year it is treated as capital gain.

Taxable amount=Sales amount -FMV(fair market value) at the time of purchase

=10000$-6000$

=4000$
