A Correct answer
Explanation

This is correct. When the cheque of Rs. 10,000 is sent to bank, the customer increases the balance in his books. But if it is not credited till the date of preparation of Bank Reconciliation, the customer has to decrease the balance by Rs 10,000. That by which the bank balance of the customer is decreased, is to be added in the balance as per pass book.
