Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Starting with a Cash Book overdraft of Rs. 3,000 (-3,000), we add cheques issued but not presented (200 + 100 + 250 = 550) because they have not yet reduced the bank balance, and we subtract cheques deposited but not cleared (800) because they have not yet been added by the bank. This gives -3,000 + 550 - 800 = -3,250, representing an overdraft of Rs. 3,250 as per the Pass Book.
