SSC CGL 2019 (Tier 2) GS Finance & Economics Previous Year Paper (17-Nov-2020)
The correct answer is

subtracted; favourable

To understand how to adjust the cash book when cheques have been deposited but not yet cleared by the bank, we need to comprehend the concept of 'favourable' and 'unfavourable' balances.

Favourable Balance: A positive balance in the cash book indicates that the business has a surplus. When a cheque is deposited but not cleared, it is not yet added to the bank's balance. Therefore, we should subtract this amount from the cash book to reflect the actual cash available.

Given the question:

The amount of cheque deposited but not cleared by the bank should be subtracted from the cash book, if there is a favourable balance in the cash book.

The correct option is: subtracted; favourable.
