Certainly! Let's break down the provided problem step-by-step. We'll be creating the Realisation Account, Partners' Capital Accounts, and the Bank Account. Let's start with each step carefully.

1. Realisation Account:

This account summarizes the realization of assets and the payment of liabilities.

Debits:
- Creditors settled for 95% of their value.
- Realisation expenses.
- Unrecorded liability.
- Akash’s dissolution fee.

Credits:
- Realized values of assets (stock, machinery, debtors, land, and building, and old computer).

Preparation:

Realisation Account:

| Particulars | Amount (₹) | Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|----------------------------------|-------------|------------------------------|-------------|
| To Creditors (₹ 75,000 x 0.95) | 71,250 | By Stock | 45,000 |
| To Unrecorded Liability | 5,000 | By Debtors | 35,000 |
| To Realisation Expenses | 2,000 | By Machinery (80% of ₹ 60,000)| 48,000 |
| To Akash’s Dissolution Fee | 1,200 | By Land & Building | 1,20,000 |
| | | By Old Computer | 5,000 |
| | | | |
| Total Liabilities & Expenses | 79,450 | Total Realized Assets | 2,53,000 |

| Bikash's Capital Account | 69,420 | | |
| Total | 2,53,000 | Total | 2,53,000 |


2. Partners' Capital Accounts:

Initial Balances: (Assume the amounts from balance sheet)
- Assume Akash: ₹ 30,000
- Assume Bikash: ₹ 20,000

Since realization profit is divided in the ratio of 3:2:

Akash (3/5 of ₹ 1,73,550):
- ₹ 1,04,130

Bikash (2/5 of ₹ 1,73,550):
- ₹ 69,420

Akash’s Capital Account:

| Particulars | Amount (₹) | Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|------------------------------|------------|---------------------------------------|------------|
| To Bank (Balancing Figure) | 1,34,130 | By Balance b/d | 30,000 |
| | | By Realisation Account (Net Profit) | 1,04,130 |
| Total | 1,34,130 | Total | 1,34,130 |

Bikash’s Capital Account:

| Particulars | Amount (₹) | Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|------------------------------|------------|----------------------------------------|------------|
| To Bank (Balancing Figure) | 89,420 | By Balance b/d | 20,000 |
| | | By Realisation Account (Net Profit) | 69,420 |
| Total | 89,420 | Total | 89,420 |


3. Bank Account:

Shows the cash flow during the dissolution.

Bank Account:

| Particulars | Amount (₹) | Particulars | Amount (₹) |
|-------------------------------|-------------|------------------------------------|---------------|
| To Realisation Account | 2,53,000 | By Realisation Expenses | 2,000 |
| | | By Unrecorded Liability | 5,000 |
| | | By Akash’s Dissolution Fee | 1,200 |
| | | By Creditors | 71,250 |
| | | By Akash’s Capital Account | 1,34,130 |
| | | By Bikash’s Capital Account | 89,420 |
| Total | 2,53,000 | Total | 3,03,000 |

Summary:
- Realized value of assets: ₹ 2,53,000
- Total liabilities and expenses paid: ₹ 79,450
- Realisation profit: ₹ 1,73,550 (divided as ₹ 1,04,130 for Akash and ₹ 69,420 for Bikash).
