  1. Purchases of ₹ 800 from Sachin have been omitted to be posted to his account. It is a mistake at the time of posting in the ledger. Since the entry in the Purchases Book is correct, total of Purchases Book will also be correct.

So, ₹ 720 more will be credited to his account for rectification of this error.
