Correct Answer: Rs 5,66,000


Solution : Answer = Rs 5,66,000

                                     Verma's Capital A/c
By Verma's executor a/c (b/f) 5,66,000 By Bal b/d 4,20,000
    By IOC 21,000
    ($4,20,000 \times \frac{10}{100} \times \frac{6}{12}$)  
    By Reserve fund 70,000
    ($2,10,000 \times \frac{1}{3}$)  
    By Sharma & Goyal capitals 35,000
    By P & L suspense a/c 20,000
  5,66,000   5,66,000

$\frac{3,00,000}{15,00,000}$×3,00,000= 60,000$\times \frac{1}{3}$= 20,000.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
