Answer ; A $180 cash receipt from a customer in payment of her account posted as a $180 debit to Cash and a $18 credit to Accounts Receivable.

Reason:

As cash receipt is for $180, trial balance always agrees if you have posted equal debit and equal credit to any account but here although posting is wrong but at the same time debit to cash is $180 and credit to account receivable is $18 so it will lead to difference in total of Trial balance by difference of $162 i.e. $180-$18.

All other errors which are given although have been wrongly recorded and posted but in all cases wherever or howsoever these are posted but in each error posting equal debit and equal credit is posted so these will not lead to difference in trial balance.
