Mahesh and Ramesh share profits and losses in the ratio of 2:1. They admit Rahul as a new partner with 1/4 share in profits with a guarantee that his share of profit shall be at least Rs. 25,000. The net profit of the firm for the year ending March 31, 2025 was Rs. 80,000. What amount will be borne by Mahesh for the deficiency of Rahul's guaranteed profit?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Rahul's actual share =80,000×1/4=20,000= 80{,}000 \times 1/4 = 20{,}000.

Deficiency =25,000−20,000=5,000= 25{,}000 - 20{,}000 = 5{,}000, borne by Mahesh and Ramesh in their ratio 2:12:1 as nothing else is stated.

Mahesh bears 5,000×2/3=3,3335{,}000 \times 2/3 = 3{,}333 (approximately) and Ramesh 1,6671{,}667.
