Net profit is Rs 150,000. First 20% is transferred to reserve and the balance is divided between A and B in the ratio 2:1. What is A's share of the remaining profit?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Rs 80,000

Reserve = 20% of Rs 150,000 = Rs 30,000. Remaining profit = Rs 150,000 − Rs 30,000 = Rs 120,000. A's share = 2/(2+1) = 2/3 of the remaining = 2/3 × Rs 120,000 = Rs 80,000. The close distractor Rs 100,000 is wrong — it results from wrongly taking 2/3 of the total profit or not deducting the reserve. Exam tip: always deduct reserves or provisions first, then apply the profit-sharing ratio to the remainder; or compute A's share as (2/3)×(remaining).
