Correct Answer: Dr. M by Rs 10,000; Cr. O by Rs 10,000


Solution : Answer = Dr. M by Rs 10,000; Cr. O by Rs 10,000

Sacrificing Ratio = O.R.- N.R.

M = 1/3 - 4/9 = 3-4/9 = -1/9 x 90,000 = 10,000

N = 1/3 -3/9 = 3-3/9 = 0

O = 1/3 - 2/9 = 3-2/9 = 1/9 x 90,000 = 10,000

M's Capital A/c Dr 10,000

To O's Capital A/c 10,000
Hence, the correct option is 1.
