A.
Rs. 200,000
Answer
B.
Rs. 700,000
C.
Rs. 800,000
D.
Rs. 1,100,000

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
The accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Owners' Equity.

In this case:

Assets = Land + Machinery + Cash = 1,500,000 + 80,000 + 20,000 = Rs. 1,600,000

Liabilities + Owners' Equity = Loan + Creditors + Owners' Equity

1,600,000 = 500,000 + Creditors + 900,000

Solving for Creditors:

1,600,000 - 500,000 - 900,000 = Creditors

Creditors = 200,000

Therefore, the amount for Creditors is Rs. 200,000.
