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.
