A and B share old profits in 7:5. General Reserve ₹84,000 and Profit and Loss credit balance ₹36,000 were wrongly shared equally. How much less or more did A receive?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹10,000 less

The governing concept is that accumulated profits belong to the partners who earned them before reconstitution, so they must be distributed in the old profit-sharing ratio. The General Reserve and the Profit and Loss credit balance together equal ₹84,000 + ₹36,000 = ₹1,20,000. In the correct old ratio 7:5, A’s entitlement is 7/12 × ₹1,20,000 = ₹70,000. However, equal distribution gave A only ₹60,000, because each partner received half of ₹1,20,000. Therefore, A received ₹70,000 − ₹60,000 = ₹10,000 less. Option A is correct. Option B reverses the direction, option C states A’s correct entitlement rather than the shortfall, and option D ignores the unequal ratio.
