Correct Answer: Profit and loss suspense account debited by Rs 27,500


Solution : Answer = Profit and loss suspense account debited by  Rs 27,500

Total profits=80,000+ 90,000+1,00,000= 2,70,000.

Average profit= $\frac{2,70,000}{3}$= 90,000.

P's share= 90,000×$\frac{1}{3}$×$\frac{11}{12}$= Rs 27,500

Profit & loss suspense A/c Dr 27,500
To P's capital A/c                                27,500
Hence, the correct option is 1.
