A firm has a Contingency Reserve of ₹75,000. A fixed liability of ₹45,000 is to be settled out of this reserve. The remaining amount will be distributed between the old partners in the ratio of 4:1. How much will the second partner receive?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹6,000

After settling the liability, the amount available for distribution is ₹75,000 − ₹45,000 = ₹30,000. In the old ratio of 4:1, the second partner's share is 1/(4+1) = 1/5. Therefore, the second partner receives ₹30,000 × 1/5 = ₹6,000. ₹30,000 is the total amount available for distribution, while ₹24,000 is the first partner's share. Exam tip: Deduct the liability first and then apply the concerned partner's fraction of the old ratio.
