Correct Option: B

To determine the sales figure, you need to calculate the change in the total debtors balance from the beginning of the period to the end of the period. The formula to calculate sales is:

Sales = Total debtors b/d + Cheques received from debtors - Total debtors c/d

Given the information:

Total debtors b/d (beginning balance) = N25,000
Cheques received from debtors = N255,000
Total debtors c/d (closing balance) = N15,000

Now, plug these values into the formula:

Sales = N25,000 (beginning balance) + N255,000 (cheques received) - N15,000 (closing balance) = N265,000

So, the sales figure is N265,000.
