Correct Answer:

Creditors will be paid at ₹39600

Explanation:

Book value of furniture = ₹70000

After taking furniture of book value ₹70000 at ₹56000 remaining creditors will be = 100000 - 56000
                                                                                                                                 = ₹44000
₹44000 is paid at discount of 10%
Discount is 44000 x10/100
