Correct Answer: Credited to Capital Reserve account 


Solution : Answer = Credited to Capital Reserve Account 

 Net  Assets = 5,00,000- 1,00,000= Rs 4,00,000
Purchase consideration = 3,80,000
If purchase consideration is less than Net Assets, then the balance is transferred to the Capital reserve.
Hence, the correct option is 4.
