but the book's answer says B

I m sorry... the credit note was sent so Purchase ledger balance should decrease but is more so $46 overstated on Debit and bcoz we have debited sales ledger so $46 decrease which should no be case and sales ledger should be higher so $46 credit side understated
thx for helping

A "credit note sent" means that you are informing your receivable that you are crediting his account mostly due to sales returns.

Therefore actual entry should have been: Sales Returns 46Dr, A.Moses 46Cr
However the incorrect entry he made is: Sales Returns 46Dr A.Mason's 46Dr, NilCr

It could be clearly seen in comparison with actual entry that Debit side is overstated by 46 and credit side understated by 46.
As the question clearly says A.Mason's account is in sales ledger therefore it has no link with Purchases or Purchase returns.
Credit note is always sent from seller to buyer meaning to your customer or T.receivable.
