Correct Answer: Debited by Rs 96,000


Solution : Answer = Debited by Rs 96,000

A's share = $1,80,000\times\frac{6}{15} = 72,000$ 

B's share = $\frac{1}{5}-\frac{5}{15} = \frac{3 - 5}{15} = \frac{-2}{15}\times1,80,000 = 24,000$

C's share = $\frac{4}{5}-\frac{4}{15} = \frac{12 - 4}{15} = \frac{8}{15}\times1,80,000 = 96,000$

C's Capital A/c Dr 96000

To A's Capital A/c 72000

To B's Capital A/c 24000
Hence, the correct option is 3.
