Explanation:

- Option 1: Liable for Rs 10,000

- This option states that the legal representatives are liable for the full debt amount. This isn't correct, as they are only liable up to the amount of the estate they inherited.

- Option 2: Liable for Rs 6,000

- The estate left by A is Rs 6,000. Legal representatives can only pay the debt to the extent of the assets available. They owe the creditor up to Rs 6,000, which is what they inherited.

- Correct Answer

- Option 3: Not liable at all

- This suggests the legal representatives have no liability. This is incorrect since they must pay debts to the extent of the estate inherited.

- Option 4: Liable for Rs 3,000

- This figure doesn't match the estate size or debt, so it is an incorrect representation of liability.
