As you haven't posted YOUR work, how can we know where you are having problems?
Care to try again ?

For this problem you have to know what accounts will be affected as well as how they are affected. Hint: The journal entry.

So for an example: Number A.
The journal entry would be:
Debit Cash
Debit Accumulated Depreciation
Credit Equipment
Credit Gain on Sale of Equipment.

Now you have the journal entry you should be able to solve the problem.
Liabilities are not affected. There is a decrease in one asset (equipment) and one contra asset (accumulated depreciation) and an increase in one asset (cash). The net result is an increase in assets. Also you have an increase in Owners Equity because a gain on sale will increase net income, which in turn will increase retained earnings.

Now you should be able to answer the rest of your problem.
