विकल्प

• ₹ 3,00,000

• ₹ 2,25,000

• ₹ 2,80,000

• ₹ 2,52,000

Answer 1

₹ 2,52,000

Explanation:

Given:

Debtors = ₹ 3,00,000

Provision for doubtful debts = ₹ 30,000

Bad debts = ₹ 20,000

Remaining debtors realized 90%

Debtors remaining = 3,00,000 − 20,000 = 2,80,000

Amount realised = 90% of 2,80,000 = 2,80,000 × 0.9

= 2,52,000
