3,000
1/10/19 To Bank A/c (3) 3,00,000 31/12/19 By I&E A/c (WN1) 7,400
31/12/19 By Bank A/c (WN1) 29,600
31/3/20 By Depreciation A/c
2 =4,00,000x10%

55,000
31/12/20 By Balance c/d
2=4,00,000-40,000
3=3,00,000-15,000
6,45,000
7,40,000 7,40,000

Working Note:
1. Book Value as on 1/4/19        = 40,000
(-) Depreciation @10%          = (3,000) [For 9 months]
Book Value as on 31/12/19     = 37,000
(-) Loss (20% x 37,000)        = (5,400)
Sale                                        = 29,600
2. Total depreciation on all 3 furniture = Rs.3,000 + Rs.55,000 = Rs.58,000.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
