Correct Answer: Credited by Rs 20,000


Solution : Answer = Credited by Rs 20,000

G.Ratio = New Ratio - Old Ratio
D= 4/15 - 5/15 = -1/15 × 1,50,000 = 10,000
E= 6/15 - 4/15 = 2/15 × 1,50,000 =20,000
F = 5/15 - 3/15 = 2/15 × 1,50,000 =20,000
  P                      = 2/15 × 1,50,000 =20,000
   Z                     = 1/15 × 1,50,000 =10,000

E's Capital A/c Dr 20,000
F's Capital A/c Dr 20,000
To D's Capital A/c 10000
To P's Capital A/c 20,000
To Z's Capital A/c 10,000
Hence, the correct option is 2.
