At admission General Reserve is ₹96000. Old partners A and B share 5:3. How much will be credited to A?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹60000

The direct answer is Option A: ₹60,000. General Reserve is an accumulated profit of the old partnership, so it is distributed in the old profit-sharing ratio, 5:3. First add the ratio parts: 5 + 3 = 8. A’s fraction is 5/8. Now calculate: ₹96,000 × 5/8 = ₹12,000 × 5 = ₹60,000. Therefore A’s capital or current account is credited by ₹60,000, while B receives ₹36,000; together they receive ₹96,000. Option A is correct. Option B, ₹36,000, is B’s share because it equals ₹96,000 × 3/8. Option C, ₹48,000, represents one-half and ignores the 5:3 ratio. Option D, ₹96,000, gives the entire reserve to A and ignores B’s entitlement. Memory cue: for ratio 5:3, divide by 8 and give A five parts.
