Correct Answer: Rs 80,000 Debited by Rs 1,42,000


Solution : Answer = Rs 80,000 Debited by Rs 1,42,000
Book value of sundry assets taken over by B Rs 80,000.

Let the book value of sundry assets be 100
10% less (10)
Assets realised 90

If the assets realised are 90, then the book value is Rs 100.
Assets realised= [$\frac{100}{90} \times 72000$]= Rs 80,000.

B's capital A/c Dr 1,42,000(70,000+72,000)
To Realisation a/c 1,42,000.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
