    Hi,
    Is someone able to explain why the new holdings of the put and the stock are indeed 100,000? I appreciate the mark scheme notes as much and it must also be the case - but can't quite seem to get my head around it ...
    Thanks in advance.

    Start with put-call parity. Differentiate twice. Delta(call) = Delta(put) + 1 and Gammas are equal.
    Go from there and get back to me if this doesn't sort it
    John
