If A and B share a loss in the ratio 4 : 1 and the total loss is Rs 25,000, how much will be debited to B's capital account?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rs 5,000

Total parts = 4 + 1 = 5. B's share = 1 part = \(\frac{1}{5}\) of the total. So B's loss = \(\frac{1}{5}\times 25{,}000 = 5{,}000\) Rs, which will be debited to B's account. Option B (Rs 20,000) is A's share (4/5) and is a common mistake if the partners are confused or reversed. Exam tip: always add the ratio parts first, then multiply the partner's part by the total loss.
