Correct Answer: Q will be credited by Rs. 27,000


Solution : Answer = Q will be credited by Rs. 27,000

O.R - N.R.

P = 3/10 - 3/10 = 0

Q = 6/10 - 3/10 = 3/10 x 90,000 = 27000

R = 1/10 - 3/10 = -2/10 x 90,000 = 18000

S = 1/10 = 1/10 x 90,000 = 9000

R's Capital A/c Dr 18000

S's Capital A/c Dr 9000

To Q's Capital A/c 27000

Hence, the correct option is 1.
