Correct Answer: Debited P's capital account by Rs 36,000 and debited R's capital account by Rs 9,000 and credited A's capital account by Rs 45,000


Solution : Answer = Debited P's capital account by Rs 36,000 and debited R's capital account by Rs 9,000 and credited A's capital account by Rs 45,000

P = $\frac{3}{5}-\frac{1}{3} = \frac{9-5}{15} = \frac{4}{15}\times 1,35,000 = 36,000$

R = $\frac{2}{5}-\frac{1}{3} = \frac{6-5}{15} = \frac{1}{15}\times 1,35,000 = 9,000$

P's Capital A/c Dr 36000

R's Capital A/c Dr 9000

To A's Capital A/c 45000
Hence, the correct option is 2.
