Solution

The correct option is C Dr. Z and Cr. X by Rs. 27,000.
To get the adjustment entry done, first need to find out the profit /loss on revaluation. Since books of account are not to be affected due to revaluation, hence an adjustment entry need to be passed:

Revaluation difference can be calculated as:

Particulars Book Value Revised Value Gain/Loss

Land & Building 300000 450000 150000
Plant & Machinery 450000 420000 - 30000
Trade Creditors 150000 135000 15000
Outstanding Rent 135000 180000 -45000
------------------
Net Gain on Revaluation 90000
-------------------

Share on revaluation: X Y Z
As per old Ratio 45000 27000 18000
As per New Ratio 18000 27000 45000
-------------- -------------- --------------
Sacrifice/Gain 27000 NIL -27000
------------- --------------- ---------------
Hence below adjustment entry will be passed:

Z's A/c Dr. 27000
To X's A/c 27000
