    Solution

    Total profit = Rs 48,000 Amount X takes as a managing partner = 15% of 48,000 = 7,200 Remaining profit = 48,000 - 7,200 = 40,800 The remaining profit is divided based on their capital ratio: X:Y:Z = 24,000:30,000:36,000 = 4:5:6 X’s share of the remaining profit = (4/15) × 40,800 = 10,880 Y’s share of the remaining profit = (5/15) × 40,800 = 13,600 Z’s share of the remaining profit = (6/15) × 40,800 = 16,320 Total received by X = 7,200 + 10,880 = 18,080 Total received by Y = 13,600 Total received by Z = 16,320 Answer: e. None
