Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 1,680.
Building (Cr.) 5,000 (45,000 - 40,000)
Machinery (Dr.) 2,000 (25,000 - 23,000)
Provision (Dr.) 480 ($\frac{6}{100} \times 8000$)
= 5,000 - 2,480
= 2,520
Revaluation profit = 2,520
Azad = $2,520 \times \frac{2}{3}$
= ₹ 1,680
