Solution

The correct option is C Mistake in pass book
When there is a difference between bank column of cash book and pass book, there may be confusion that which balance should be taken to "Balance Sheet" as "Bank Balance" while preparing financial statements.
Since there is a difference between bank column of cash book and pass book taking either of the two balances will not reflect a true picture of the "Bank Balance".

Therefore, at the end of the financial year, cash book must be adjusted for all the omissions/errors etc. It is known as "Adjusted Cash Book". Such adjusted cash book will be taken to balance sheet as "Bank Balance". No errors of the pass book will be taken into account while adjusting the cash balance.
