In the appropriation account net profit of ₹260000 and interest on drawings of ₹18000 are shown on the credit side. Total debit items amount to ₹98000. The remaining profit is to be shared in the ratio 3 : 2 : 2. What is the second partner's share?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: About Rs 51429

Compute remaining profit first: ₹260000 + ₹18000 − ₹98000 = ₹180000. Total ratio = 3+2+2 = 7. Second partner's share = (2/7) × ₹180000 = ₹360000/7 ≈ ₹51428.57, rounded ≈ ₹51429. Option A matches this. Closest distractor B is incorrect because it does not correspond to any correct fractional share of the remaining profit; some students mistakenly use a wrong denominator or add instead of subtracting debit items. Exam tip: always adjust net profit with credit and debit items in the appropriation account before applying the profit-sharing ratio.
