Almost half of the theory questions asked in these two subjects test you practrical aspects only, so if you your practical concepts are good you will be easily able to answer these questions. For the other theory questions Sanjay Agarwal & Aditya jains book are good. However if you are not satisfied with these you can go through practice manual

Honestly if you will go through all theory questions of PM & last 4 RTPs along with last 6 SAs from BoS knowledge portal at www.icai.org you will probably realise that this much material as exhaustive so prepare it well & hope for the best as on & average it can cover atleast 40 to 50% theory questions but sometimes you may not fine even 20% of theory questions.

Hey aanchal if u just go for practice manual & last 4 RTPs it will be more than sufficient. Moreover, as deepak said the questions are based on practical aspect. So all the best and u will end up well

Yup, audit Manual and Rtp's of last 3 exams is sufficient for the typical theory questions. I would also like to add few things, many people feel that you dont get good marks in the theory questions so they leave them as options. However as per my experience, in order to attempt 100 marks questions, answering theory helps in saving quiet a lot of time(especially in costing).However this is my view and you can decide on the basis of your preference and comfort level.Goodluck
