Options:

Credited by ₹3,00,000

Debited by ₹3,00,000

Credited by ₹50,000

Debited by ₹50,000

Correct Answer:

Credited by ₹50,000

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) - Credited by ₹50,000.

Land & building = ₹250000
Revalued figure = ₹300000
Increased = 300000 - 250000
               = 50000

As value is increased so journal entry will be-
Land & Building Dr. ₹50000
    To Revaluation A/c  ₹50000

So, revaluation account will be credited by ₹50000.
