Correct Answer: Dr. A by Rs 8,000; Dr. B by Rs 2,000; Cr. C by Rs10000


Solution : Answer = Dr. A by Rs 8,000; Dr. B by Rs 2,000; Cr. C by Rs10000

Sacrificing ratio = O.R. - N.R.

A = 1/3 - 4/8 = 8-12/24 = -4/24 x 48000 = 8000

B = 1/3 - 3/8 = 8-9/24 = -1/24 x 48000 =2000

C = 1/3 - 1/8 = 8-3/24 = 5/24 x 48000 = 10,000

A's Capital A/c Dr 8000

B's Capital A/c Dr 2000

To C's Capital A/c - 10,000
Hence, the correct option is 4.
