Options:

Inflow Investing activity (5,00,000)

Outflow Investing activity (2,50,000)

Correct Answer:

Outflow Investing activity (2,50,000)

Explanation:

Only 50% amount is paid by cheque so only this amount will be the outflow of cash
50% of ₹500000 is ₹250000.
Acquiring machinery is an investing activity. So there will be outflow of ₹250000 through investing activity.
