Hint:

While settling creditors during dissolution, consider adjustments for assets taken over before calculating the balance payment.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Total creditor amount = ₹60,000.
Amount adjusted against furniture = ₹45,000.
Balance payable to creditors = ₹60,000 - ₹45,000 = ₹15,000.
This balance amount was paid through cheque.
