Correct Answer:

Shown as Income and credited to Income and Expenditure A/c

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Shown as Income and credited to Income and Expenditure A/c.

Tuition fees received are considered income for the educational institution, and they are credited to the Income and Expenditure Account. This account reflects the institution's income and expenses for the period, and tuition fees contribute to the income side. Since tuition fees are income, they are credited to the Income and Expenditure Account and not shown as liabilities or expenses.
