  1. A
    A's current/capital account will be debited by 25,000
  2. B
    A's current/capital account will be debited by 5,000
  3. C
    B's current/capital account will be debited by 5,000
  4. D
    B's current/capital account will be debited by 25,000

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's calculate the missing Interest on Capital (IoC):A's IoC = B's IoC = Total IoC to be credited = This total of Rs. 50,000 is a division mistake that was instead distributed as profit equally () because IoC was omitted.Profit mistakenly shared equally = each.Now, let's look at the adjustment table:PartnerIoC to Credit (Should get)Profit to Debit (Wrongly got)Net EffectARs. 20,000 (Cr.)Rs. 25,000 (Dr.)Rs. 5,000 (Dr.)BRs. 30,000 (Cr.)Rs. 25,000 (Dr.)Rs. 5,000 (Cr.)Hence, A's account needs to be debited by Rs. 5,000.
