Correct Answer: Dr. Aman by Rs 3,000; Cr. Varun  by Rs 3,000


Solution : Answer = Dr. Aman by Rs 3,000; Cr. Varun by Rs 3,000

Sacrificing ratio = O.R. - N.R.

Aman = 1/2 -4/7 = 7-8/14 = -1/14 x 42000 = 3000

Varun = 1/2 -3/7 = 7-6/14 = 1/14 x 42000 = 3000

General Reserve = 62000

Less Profit and Loss = 20000

(Dr) = 42000

Aman's Capital A/c Dr 3000

To Varun's Capital A/c 3000

Hence, the correct option is 1.
