Answer 1

The correct option is D (a), (b) and (c)

Bank reconciliation statement is prepared to reconcile the balances as per cash book (bank balance) and pass book (bank statement) by identifying the causes of differences between the two. So, in other words, any undue delay in the clearance of the cheque will be shown. If any fraud is happening, it will show up when the balances would not match. And, it will also help us arrive at the actual position of the bank balance.

So (a), (b) and (c).
