Assertion (A): Daksh’s Loan will be debited by ₹ 75,000 only.

पर्याय

• Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of (A).

• Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of (A).

• A is incorrect but R is correct.

• Both A and R are incorrect.

Answer 1

Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of (A).

Explanation:

Daksh’s loan account will be debited by the amount actually paid to him (₹ 75,000). This is because the loan can only be closed by the amount that is paid to the partner, not the amount initially owed (₹ 80,000). Hence, the loan is settled at ₹ 75,000 and debited accordingly, matching the reason (R) with the assertion (A).
