Given, Initial stock of wheat in the godown: 85,90,865 quintals

Wheat sent to Punjab: 17,89,564 quintals

Wheat sent to Delhi: 23,17,986 quintals

Total sent = Wheat sent to Punjab + Wheat sent to Delhi

= 17,89,564 + 23,17,986

= 41,07,550 quintals

Balance stock = Initial stock - Total sent

= 85,90,865 - 41,07,550

= 44,83,315 quintals

Hence, the balance stock of wheat is 44,83,315 quintals.
