Options:

₹15,200

₹15,400

₹16,000

Correct Answer:

₹15,700

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 1- ₹15,700.

Balance as per cash book = ₹15,000
Less: Cheque deposited but not cleared is ₹1000 (This amount has been added in the cash book but not yet in the passbook so it is deducted to know balance of passbook)
Add: Cheque issued but not presented is ₹1,500 (This cheque is already deducted in the cash book, but not yet cleared in the passbook so it is added back)
Add: Bank interest 200 (This is in the passbook but not in the cash book, so added in the cash book)
      = (15,000 - 1,000 + 1,500 +200)
       = 15,700
