If profit of ten thousand rupees was fully given to A but it should be shared equally between A and B how much will be credited to B?

Correct answer: Five thousand rupees

The direct answer is A: Rs 5,000. The total profit is Rs 10,000, and it should be shared equally by A and B. Equal sharing means two identical parts. Calculate each part as Rs 10,000 ÷ 2 = Rs 5,000. A was wrongly given the entire Rs 10,000, but B must receive the amount that should properly belong to B: Rs 5,000. Thus B’s account is credited with Rs 5,000, and the necessary correction also removes the excess amount wrongly given to A. Option A is correct because it is B’s correct equal share. Option B is wrong because Rs 10,000 is the whole profit, not B’s half. Option C, Rs 2,000, has no basis in an equal division. Option D is wrong because B is entitled to half even though the original entry was incorrect. Remember: for equal sharing, divide the total profit by two before preparing the correction.
