@ Ragini,

Normally if their is any loss on sale of fixed assets in such case it is charged to P&L account,but in case of revalued asset and if their is any revalued reserve (in this case there is a reserve of 200) then i such case the loss is to be adjusted against such revaluation reserve

Now in your case their is aloss of150 .i.e (100-250),which should be adjusted against revaluation reserve of 200,but the said company given wrong treatment by debiting to cost of goods sold and the revaluation reserve of 200 is credited to P&L account in the name of profit on loss of property

Entries passed by the company is

1.Revaluation account Dr 200

To profit on sale of property 200

2.Bank Account Dr 100

Cost of Goods sold account Dr 150

To asset account 250

Rectfication entry is

Profit on sale of property Dr 200

To Cost of Goods sold account 150

To General reserve 50
