A and B share old profits in 6:4. General reserve ₹70000 and Profit and Loss credit balance ₹30000 are wrongly shared equally. How much less or more did A receive?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹10000 less

The direct answer is Option A: A received ₹10,000 less. Combine the two accumulated-profit amounts first: ₹70,000 + ₹30,000 = ₹1,00,000. A and B should receive this total in their old ratio 6:4. Total parts are 10, so A’s correct share is ₹1,00,000 × 6/10 = ₹60,000. But the amount was wrongly divided equally, so A actually received ₹1,00,000 ÷ 2 = ₹50,000. Difference: ₹60,000 − ₹50,000 = ₹10,000 less. Option A is correct. Option B is wrong because A did not receive extra. Option C is wrong because the difference is not ₹20,000. Option D is wrong because the old ratio is not equal; 6:4 means A deserves more. Memory cue: compare the correct ratio share with the wrongly received amount.
