Correct Answer: Debit A’s Capital A/c by Rs.30,000; Credit B’s Capital A/c by Rs.10,000 and C’s Capital A/c by Rs.20,000.


Solution : Answer = Debit A’s Capital A/c by Rs.30,000; Credit B’s Capital A/c by Rs.10,000 and C’s Capital A/c by Rs.20,000.

A's Capital A/c Dr. 30,000
To C's Capital A/c = 20,000
To B's Capital A/c = 10,000
(Total Value of General Reserve  +  Profit and Loss)
= 1,00,000 + 45000 +(25000)
= 1,20000
M.R - OR
A= 3/4 - 3/6 = 9-6/12 = 3/12 × 1,20000 = 30,000
B= 1/4 - 2/6 = 3-4/12 = -1/12 = 10,000
Hence, the correct option is 1.
