the partners shall be entitled for 6% interest on loans / advances to the firm over and above the

Thus the interest payable to A: 20,000 X 6% = Rs. 1,200 is to be provided for. Profit after providing
for the interest = Rs. 80,000 – 1,200 = Rs. 78,800.

Balance profit = 6,000 – 4,800 = 1,200 will be shared by all the partners equally i.e. Rs. 400 each.
Thus X & Z would get Rs. 400 each and Y will get Rs. 400 + 4,800= Rs. 5,200
Hence the correct option: c
If partnership deed provides for the interest on capital, partners are entitled for interest on
