Working Note:
1. Calculation of interest on capital:
Jay's interest on Capital= 9/100 * 80000 = 7200
Vijay's Interest on capital= 9/100 * 50000 = 4500
Total interest= 7200+4500= 11700
2. Proportionate interest on Capital:
Jay's share= [7200/11700]*7800
= 4800
Vijay's share= [4500/11700]*7800
= 3000

Note: interest on capital can only be provided to the extent of the profits.
