Okay,
I think you are confused about the following transaction:
"11/04/21 Sold goods worth Rs 5,000/- and to receive payment immediately by cheque and allow discount Rs 100/-"
In the above transaction the goods worth Rs 5,000 were sold but the amount received in cash after discount is Rs 4,900, and in the cash book we have to record the amount which the business received not the total due amount.
So that's why we have recorded only 4,900 in the bank column and Rs. 100 in the discount column,
Shall i know why have we recorded that 4900 in the bank coloum?

Because in the transaction method of payment is given. The payment has been made with a cheque.
11/04/21 Sold goods worth Rs 5,000/- and to receive payment immediately by cheque and allow discount of Rs 100/-

If there is a transaction as bought a motor vehicle in cash for 300,000 ( not for the business use)
and paid motor expenses in cash 50,000, how do we report them in the cash book?
If it is not for business use it means that will be for owner's personal use.
So,
The both amount will be debited to Drawing account

It's simple just record contra entry.
1st record it in the debit side of the Bank account.
and then record it in the credit side of the cash account.
I don't understand how u got 4,900,when he sold goods of 5000 and immediately received payment by cheque with a discount of 100

Thanks for question.
Please write 800 in the Cash column and Rs50 will be written in the discount allowed column.

okay let me explain it more:
In the transaction, the amount of payment received is not given so we have to calculate it.
So now the question is how we can calculate it.
we can calculate it with simple formula i.e
Amount received = Amount due/Sale value - the amount of discount.
so,
Amount received = 5,000 - 100
4,900/-
i am confused about last entry because drawings are recorded in bank column in credit side .

Cash is withdrawal from the business is means drawing out of business cash not from bank account. So thats why it is posted on credit side of business cash account.
