General Reserve ₹72,000 was distributed in capital ratio 5:4 instead of old ratio 3:1. How much less or more did the first partner receive?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹14,000 less

The governing principle is that a General Reserve is an accumulated profit and must be distributed in the old profit-sharing ratio, not in the partners’ capital ratio. Under the correct old ratio 3:1, the first partner should receive 3/4 × ₹72,000 = ₹54,000. The incorrect capital ratio 5:4 contains 9 parts, so the amount actually given to him was 5/9 × ₹72,000 = ₹40,000. Comparing the two amounts, his shortfall is ₹54,000 − ₹40,000 = ₹14,000. Therefore, option A is correct. Option B reverses the result, option C gives the correct entitlement rather than the difference, and option D ignores the distinct ratios.
