Just using the 'pre' tag to make your table look neater easier to read:
1.1.look at the following statement of a 6 months credit and answer the question that follow:

STATEMENT:For Period 01-29 February 2016

DATE    DESCRIPTION              DEBIT      CREDIT            BALANCE
O1-Feb  Balance brought forward                               R101.25
06-Feb  Cosmetics               R123.15                    R224.40
20-Feb.  Ladies Sportswear       R289.49                       A
27-Feb.   Payment -Thank you                                   B
          Total Owing                                          C
           Amount Due.                                         R65.65

Somethings are wrong with your table.
Activity on 06-feb shows one debit and then the wrong balance.
Activity on 20-feb shows another debit, and "A" should be a more negative value for that balance.
Balance for 31-January , being only one day before 01-feb, is as a good guess, the R101.25, which was "brought forward".
"A payment of R120" done on 27-feb, so why is it omitted from your table? Payment means, your account should show a debit (a payment from your account) of R120.
"Amount Due...", the table statement seems more like a Credit Card, and less so like a Debit Card. You are not clear about this.

Upon looking at the table again, Forward balance and the "debit" of 06-feb, giving a "balance" of R224.40, suggest this is for a CREDIT card. At that date, amount you OWE to pay is R224.40.
