Explanation of Solution
T-account: The condensed form of a ledger is referred to as T-account. The left-hand side of this account is known as debit, and the right hand side is known as credit.

- (a) The title of the account
- (b) The left or debit side
- (c) The right or credit side
Example of T-account
