Choose the correct statement from the following:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Workmen Compensation Reserve, with no claim given, is distributed in the old ratio 3:2:13:2:1: Deven gets 1,80,000×2/6=60,0001{,}80{,}000 \times 2/6 = 60{,}000 credit.

General Reserve is not distributed, so it is adjusted through gain and sacrifice. Old shares 15:10:515:10:5 of 3030; new shares 15:9:615:9:6. Deven sacrifices 1/301/30, Keshav gains 1/301/30.

Deven is credited 1,35,000×1/30=4,5001{,}35{,}000 \times 1/30 = 4{,}500.
