The net profit is ₹30,000. A's salary of ₹50,000 is fully payable. A and B share profits and losses in the ratio 2:3. What is B's share of the loss?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Twelve thousand rupees

Explanation: A's salary ₹50,000 exceeds the net profit ₹30,000. Excess salary = ₹50,000 − ₹30,000 = ₹20,000, which becomes a loss shared by partners. With A:B = 2:3, total parts = 5. B's share = (3/5) × ₹20,000 = ₹12,000. Thus ₹12,000 is correct. Closest distractor ₹8,000 is A's share (2/5 of ₹20,000), and ₹20,000 is the total loss, not B's portion. Exam tip: If salary specified in the deed is payable but profit is insufficient, treat the excess as a loss to be divided in the profit‑sharing ratio—compute excess first, then apply the ratio.
