Certainly! Here is the detailed solution to the question based on the given numerical values.

### Adjustments to the Balance Sheet

#### 1. Admitting C as a Partner
- C's Capital Contribution: ₹ 1,00,000
- C's Goodwill Contribution: ₹ 50,000
- Half of the Goodwill is withdrawn by A and B. Thus, ₹ 25,000 is withdrawn by A and B in their profit-sharing ratio (3:1).

#### 2. Value Adjustments
- Land & Building (appreciated by 15%):
- Original Value: ₹ 3,30,000
- New Value: ₹ 3,30,000 + (15% of ₹ 3,30,000) = ₹ 3,30,000 + ₹ 49,500 = ₹ 3,79,500

- Stock (reduced by 7%):
- Original Value: ₹ 1,80,000
- New Value: ₹ 1,80,000 - (7% of ₹ 1,80,000) = ₹ 1,80,000 - ₹ 12,600 = ₹ 1,67,400

- Machinery & Fixtures (reduced by 5%):
- Original Value: ₹ 2,00,000
- New Value: ₹ 2,00,000 - (5% of ₹ 2,00,000) = ₹ 2,00,000 - ₹ 10,000 = ₹ 1,90,000

#### 3. Provision for Doubtful Debts
- Book Debts: ₹ 2,00,000
- New Value after 5% provision for doubtful debts: ₹ 2,00,000 - (5% of ₹ 2,00,000) = ₹ 2,00,000 - ₹ 10,000 = ₹ 1,90,000

#### 4. Provision for Unforeseen Liability
- Provision: ₹ 15,000 (deducted from Cash in Hand)

#### 5. Commission Receipt
- Commission: ₹ 11,000 (added to Cash in Hand)

### Capital Adjustments for A and B
- Withdrawal of Goodwill by A and B: ₹ 25,000
- A receives (3/4 of ₹ 25,000): ₹ 18,750
- B receives (1/4 of ₹ 25,000): ₹ 6,250

### Calculation of New Capital
- A's Capital: ₹ 4,00,000 + ₹ 18,750 = ₹ 4,18,750
- B's Capital: ₹ 2,00,000 + ₹ 6,250 = ₹ 2,06,250
