    E All I, II and III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Ratio of profit shares of 'Anuj', 'Pawan' and 'Charu' at the end of 18 months = (40000 X 18) :(60000 X 18) :(40000 X 12) = 6:9:4 So, commission earned by 'Charu' = 250000 X 0.05 = Rs. 12,500 So, statement II is false. So, gross profit remaining to be distributed among 'Anuj', 'Pawan' and 'Charu' = 250000 - 12500 = Rs. 2,37,500 So, profit share of 'Anuj' = 2,37,500 X (6/19) = Rs. 75,000 And profit share of 'Pawan' = 2,37,500 X (9/19) = Rs. 1,12,500 And profit share of 'Charu' = 2,37,500 X (4/19) = Rs. 50,000 So, difference between profit share of 'Pawan' and amount collected by 'Charu' = 1,12,500 - (50000 + 12,500) = Rs. 50,000 So, statement I is true. And ratio of profit shares of 'Anuj' and 'Charu' = 6:4 = 3:2 So, statement III is false.
