A and B share old profits in the ratio 9:6. General Reserve ₹1,05,000 and Profit and Loss credit balance ₹45,000 were wrongly shared equally. How much less or more did A receive?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ₹15,000 less

The governing concept is that accumulated profits must be distributed in the old profit-sharing ratio because they arose before the reconstitution. The total accumulated profit is ₹1,05,000 + ₹45,000 = ₹1,50,000. The old ratio 9:6 totals 15 parts, so A’s correct entitlement is 9/15 × ₹1,50,000 = ₹90,000. However, the equal distribution gave A ₹1,50,000 ÷ 2 = ₹75,000. Thus, A received ₹90,000 − ₹75,000 = ₹15,000 less than the amount due. Hence option A is correct. The result is a shortfall, not an excess; ₹90,000 is A’s correct share, not the difference, and equal distribution is inappropriate for the stated old ratio.
