Solution

The correct option is A X and Y contributing in the ratio of their capitals
When a partner is unable to contribute towards deficiency of his capital account,he/she is said to be insolvent,and the sum not recoverable is treated as capital loss. In the absence of any agreement, such capital loss is to be borne by the solvent partners in accordance with the principle laid down in Garner vs. Murray case, which states that the solvent partners have to bear such loss in the ratio of their capitals on the date of dissolution.
