Correct Answer: Purchase of Patents of Rs.1,00,000 and will be shown under Cash Flow from Investing Activities as an outflow of cash.


Solution : Answer = Purchase of Patents of Rs.1,00,000 and will be shown under Cash Flow from Investing Activities as an outflow of cash.

The increase in patents from Rs. 6,00,000 to Rs. 7,00,000 indicates an investment in intangible assets. When preparing the Cash Flow Statement, the purchase of patents for Rs. 1,00,000 will be shown under Cash Flow from Investing Activities as an outflow of cash, reflecting the investment in intangible assets.
Hence, the correct option is 2.
