Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) - Dr. 45,000.
Debtors of book value ₹50,000 taken over by Naina at 10% less.
Discount = 50,000 x 10/100
= ₹5,000
Debtors value taken by Naina = 50,000 - 5,000
= ₹45,000
Journal entry for the debtors taken over by Naina-
Naina's Capital A/c Dr. ₹45,000

Thus, ₹45,000 Amount of Debtors is to be shown on the debit side in Naina's capital A/c.
