Correct Answer: Rs.56,000, Rs.64,000, Rs.40,000


Solution : Profit = Rs.1,60,000
A:B:C = 2:2:1
C's share of profit = Rs.1,60,000 X 1/5 = Rs.32,000
Minimum profit = Rs.40,000
Loss borne by A = Rs.40,000 - Rs.32,000 = Rs.8,000 is to be borne by A only.
A will bear = Rs.8,000

A's share of profit = Rs.1,60,000 X 2/5 = Rs.64,000
A's new share of profit = Rs.64,000 - Rs.8,000 = Rs.56,000

A' share of profit = Rs.56,000
B's share of profit = Rs.64,000
C's share of profit = Rs.40,000
Hence, the correct option is 2.
