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.
