A and B share profits in the ratio 5:3. A’s annual salary is ₹36,000 and B’s commission is ₹24,000. Total profit is ₹1,40,000. What is A’s share in the remaining profit?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹50,000

Salary and commission are first treated as appropriations of the firm’s profit, and only the residual profit is divided in the agreed ratio. The total of these appropriations is ₹36,000+₹24,000=₹60,000. Therefore, residual profit equals ₹1,40,000−₹60,000=₹80,000. The ratio 5:3 has eight total parts, of which A receives five. A’s share in the remaining profit is 5/8×₹80,000=₹50,000. Thus option A is correct. The figure ₹87,500 results from applying the ratio to the original profit rather than the residual amount. ₹62,500 and ₹45,000 likewise do not follow the correct residual base and ratio. A’s salary is separate from this calculated residual share.
