I got the Answer for this Question.
Solution:
Current Selling price = Rs. 125
Dividend (d1) = Rs. 15
Estimated Growth rate = 6%
Issue price of new Equity share = Rs. 123
Flotation of new Equity share = Rs. 3
Net Proceedings = 123 - 3 = Rs. 120
Cost of Equity Capital = Ke = ( d1 / MP ) + g => 15 / 120 + 0.06 = 18.5 %

Ke = D1/NP + g
where,
D1 = expected dividend
NP = Net Proceeds
D1 = 15
NP = 123-3 = 120
therefore,
Ke = (15/120)*100 + 6%
therefore, Ke = 12.5% +6% = 18.5%
