Solution

The correct option is D Debit Side to be Rs.200 more than credit side
For the purchase return of Rs.100, purchase return account should be credited. Instead of the credit to purchase return an amount of Rs.100 is debited to sales return. This will make the effect double i.e of Rs.200. In such situation, trial balance debit side will be more by Rs.200 than credit side.
