Solution:

This is the butterfly strategy where we buy two call option at different strike price and then sell 2 option between these two strike price.

Buy: Payoff of 90 call option = Max ( Share price - 90 , 0 ) - Premium paid

Buy: Payoff of 110 call option = Max ( Share price - 110 , 0 ) - Premium paid

Sell: Payoff of 100 call option = 2 * (Min(100- share price,0)+ premium received)

Overall Payoff = Payoff from 90 call buy + Payoff from 110 call buy + Payoff from 100 call sell

As per the below screenshot maximum loss = 2.77
