Option 1: Cr. X by Rs 240000; Dr. Y by Rs 240000
Option 2: Cr. X by Rs 600000; Dr. Z by Rs 600000
Option 3: Cr. X by Rs 360000; Dr. Z by Rs 360000
Option 4: Dr. X by Rs 360000; Cr. Z by Rs 360000
Correct Answer: Dr. X by Rs 360000; Cr. Z by Rs 360000
Solution : Answer = Dr. X by Rs 360000; Cr. Z by Rs 360000
Sacrificing ratio = old ratio - new ratio
X = 2/10 - 5/10 = -3/10 x 12,00,000 = 3,60,000
Y = 3/10 - 3/10 = 0
Z = 5/10 - 2/10 = 3/10 x 12,00,000 = 3,60,000
X's Capital A/c Dr 3,60,000
To Z's Capital A/c 3,60,000
Hence, the correct option is 1.
