1. Futures/Strike Price: The adjusted strike price shall be arrived at by dividing the old strike price by the adjustment factor.
2. Market Lot: The adjusted market lot shall be arrived at by multiplying the old market lot(125) by the adjustment factor (5). The revised market lot would be 625 (125 * 5).
