A B C share profit in ratio five to three to two. B is guaranteed seventy thousand rupees. Total profit is two lakh fifty thousand rupees. Will there be any deficiency?

Correct answer: No because B actual share is seventy five thousand

The direct answer is option A: no deficiency, because B’s actual share is Rs 75,000. The total ratio is 5:3:2, so total parts are 10. B has 3 parts. His share is \\(250000\\times\\frac{3}{10}=75000\\) rupees. The guaranteed amount is also Rs 70,000. Since the actual share of Rs 75,000 is greater than the guarantee by Rs 5,000, there is no deficiency to be paid. Option A is correct because the guarantee is a minimum amount, not an amount added automatically when the actual share is higher. Option B, Rs 5,000, is the difference between actual share and guarantee, but it is a surplus, not a deficiency. Option C, Rs 70,000, incorrectly treats the guarantee itself as the deficiency. Option D, Rs 25,000, has no basis in the ratio or the figures. The proper order is to calculate the guaranteed partner’s normal share and compare it with the guaranteed amount. Memory cue: deficiency exists only when actual share is less than guaranteed share.
