X's Capital = ₹125030
Y's Capital = ₹2070
Creditors = ₹23150

    To Realisation A/c  ₹1860

Realisation A/c Dr.        ₹1860
    To Partner's capital A/c ₹1860

Realisation A/c Dr. ₹1860
    To Cash A/c                ₹1860

No entry passed

Correct Answer:

Realisation A/c Dr. ₹1860
    To Cash A/c                ₹1860

Explanation:

If some expenses are incurred by the firm during the realisation of assets and payment of liabilities and the firm makes the payment, the entry will be as follows: Realisation Account Dr. To Bank Account
This entry reflects the payment made by the firm to settle the realisation expenses incurred during the dissolution process.
So, here journal entry will be-
 Realisation A/c Dr. ₹1860
    To Cash A/c                ₹1860
