X Limited is in the business of trading. It is to receive ₹7,000 from Vinod and to pay ₹8,000 to Vinod. Similarly, it is to pay ₹8,000 to Sudhir and to receive ₹9,000 from Sudhir. Except above but after all the adjustment, the books of X Limited show the debtors balance at ₹72,000 (Dr.) and creditors balance at ₹39,000 (Cr.). The correct value of debtors and creditors to be shown in balance sheet would be —
(A) Debtors (₹72,000), Creditors (₹39,000)
(B) Debtors (₹88,000), Creditors (₹55,000)
(C) Debtors (₹80,000), Creditors (₹47,000)
(D) Debtors (₹79,000), Creditors (₹46,000).

Answer & Explanation:
