Correct Answer: Profit and loss suspense account credited by Rs 10,000


Solution : Answer = Profit and loss suspense account credited by Rs 10,000

 

In this scenario, the profit or loss of the deceased partner, Karan, until the date of his death will be determined based on the previous year's profit, which was a loss of Rs. 1,80,000. Since the business continues, the loss will be transferred to the Profit and Loss Account, crediting the Profit and Loss Suspense Account by Rs. 10,000 to balance the accounts.
Hence, the correct option is 4.
