Option 1: Maanika's capital a/c Dr 1,50,000
Bhari's capital a/c Dr 50,000
To Komal's capital a/c 2,00,000
Option 2: Maanika's capital a/c Dr 2,00,000
To Komal's capital a/c 2,00,000.
Option 3: Komal's capital a/c Dr 4,00,000

To Bhari's capital a/c 1,60,000
Option 4: Maanika's capital a/c Dr 2,40,000
Bhari's capital a/c Dr 1,60,000
To Komal's capital a/c 4,00,000.
Correct Answer:
Maanika's capital a/c Dr 2,40,000
Bhari's capital a/c Dr 1,60,000
To Komal's capital a/c 4,00,000.
Solution :
Answer =
Maanika's capital a/c Dr 2,40,000
Bhari's capital a/c Dr 1,60,000
To Komal's capital a/c 4,00,000
Loss=2,20,000
Maanika's share=$2,20,000 \times \frac{6}{11}$=12,00,000.
Bhari's share=$2,20,000 \times \frac{4}{11}$=8,00,000.
Komal's share=$2,20,000 \times \frac{4}{11}$=2,00,000.
Deficiency=Guaranteed profit-actual profit=[2,00,000-(2,00,000)]=2,00,000+2,00,000=4,00,000
Maanika's share=$4,00,000 \times \frac{3}{5}$=2,40,000.
Bhari's share=$4,00,000 \times \frac{2}{5}$=1,60,000.
Hence, the correct option is 4.
