Salman's total liability consists of the loan he has taken from the bank. The amount invested in shares is an asset, not a liability. Therefore, his total liability is the loan amount only.
- Loan taken from bank: Rs. 30,000
- Investment in shares: Rs. 40,000 (asset, not liability)
- Bank account balance: Rs. 0 (asset)
Hence, total liability = Rs. 30,000 (loan) only
. Investments do not count as liabilities because liabilities represent amounts owed to others, such as loans or debts
