	Ravi’s Capital A/c Dr.		1,500	...
	To Bank A/c		...	1,500
	(Being expenses of realisation paid by the firm recovered from Ravi as he is supposed to bear realisation expenses)		...	...

Note: As Ravi is supposed to bear the Realisation Expenses so if these are paid by the firm; the firm has right to recover it from Ravi. Hence, Ravi's account has been debited and Bank account has been credited.

It is debited because the partner's claim over the firm is decreased by the amount of asset taken over by him, thus his capital account is decreased.
Dissolution of partnership refers to the change in the existing relations of the partners. The firm continues its business.As one or more than one can partner take over the overall business of the firm.
A court may order for dissolution of a partnership firm on insolvency of all the partners or all the partners except one become insolvent.

working notes:

1. Loss on Realisation = 1,000

Loss on Realisation transferred to Kumar's capital account = 1,000×5/10 = 500

Loss on Realisation transferred to Shyam's capital account = 1,000 × 3/10 = 300

Loss on Realisation transferred to Ratan's capital account=1,000 × 2 = 200

2. Creditors = 1,20,000

Out of which 20,000 were untraceable

So the creditors were paid in full settlement amounting 1,20,000 - 20,000 = 1,00,000
