A Correct answer
Explanation

This is correct. As the payment of only Rs. 1,450 is made through cheque by Rakesh, the bank balance should be decreased by Rs. 1,450 but Rakesh has entered Rs. 1,540 in the credit side of bank column. Therefore, Rs. 90 is entered in excess in the credit side (Rs. 1,540 Rs. 1,450). So, Rs. 90 would be entered in the debit side to rectify the mistake made or make amendments.
