A company's trial balance totals were :
Debit $387,642
Credit $379,511

which one of the following errors would have the effect of reducing the difference when corrected?

a) The petty cash balance of $ 500 has been omitted from the trial balance.
b) $ 4000 received for rent of part of the office has been correctly recorded in the cash book and debited to rent account.
Please help me by solving this problem.

(b) the debit side to be decreased by $4,000 while the credit side to be increased by $4,000
