Correct Answer: Debiting X by Rs 15,000 and Y debiting Rs 75,000


Solution : Answer = Debiting X by Rs 15,000 and Y debiting Rs 75,000

In this scenario, after Z's retirement, his Capital Account stands at Rs. 3,60,000. X and Y agree to pay him Rs. 4,50,000. As per the new profit-sharing ratio of 1:3 between X and Y, X will be debited by Rs 15,000, and Y will be debited by Rs 75,000 to settle Z's claim and adjust the new profit-sharing arrangement.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
