General Reserve is ₹36,000 and the old partners’ ratio is 5:4. What is the second partner’s share?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹16,000

The governing concept is distribution of a reserve accumulated before the admission of a new partner. Such a reserve belongs to the old partners and is transferred to them in their old profit-sharing ratio. The ratio 5:4 totals nine parts. The second partner is entitled to four parts, so his share is ₹36,000 × 4/9 = ₹4,000 × 4 = ₹16,000. Therefore option A is correct. Option B is the first partner’s share because it uses 5/9. Option C would divide the reserve equally and ignore the agreed ratio, while option D represents only the value of one part rather than the second partner’s complete four-part entitlement.
