Question

In which ratio the deficiency of T will be borne by A & V?

• A. 5:3
• B. 2:3
• C. 2:4
• D. 2:1

Hint:

Always check the partnership deed carefully — the deficiency sharing ratio may not be the same as the profit-sharing ratio.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Recall T's guarantee.
T was guaranteed a minimum profit of Rs. 2,50,000. Any deficiency was to be borne by A and V in the ratio of 2:3.

Step 2: Identify the ratio.
The partnership deed itself specifies the deficiency ratio between A and V.

Final Answer: \[ \boxed{2:3} \]
