Correct Answer: Debited R by Rs 30,000 and credited L Rs 30,000


Solution : Answer = Debited R by Rs 30,000 and credited L Rs 30,000

S.R. = O.R. - N.R. 

R = 1/3 - 3/6 = 2-3/6 = -1/6 x 1,80,000 = 30,000

B = 1/3 - 2/6 = 2-2/6 = 0

R = 1/3 - 1/6 = 2-1/6 = 1/6 x 1,80,000 = 30,000

R's Capital A/c Dr 30,000

To L's Capital A/c 30,000
Hence, the correct option is 2.
