Solution

The correct option is C
Rs. 26,000 for partner B & C and Rs. 27,200 for A

Interest on Advance made by A = Rs. 20,000*6% = Rs.1,200

Balance profit after interest on advance = Rs. 79,200-Rs. 1,200 = Rs. 78,000

Remaining profit to be distributed equally

Each share of profit = Rs. 78,000/3 = Rs. 26,000

Share of A: Rs. 26,000 + Rs. 1,200 = Rs. 27,200

Share of B: Rs. 26,000

Share of C: Rs.26,000
