Solution and Explanation
Given:
Capital of Prathma = ₹ 10,00,000
Capital of Madhyama = ₹ 8,00,000
Capital of Tritiya = ₹ 6,00,000
Rate of Interest on Capital = 10% per annum
Profit-sharing ratio = 2 : 2 : 1
(i) When Net Profit = ₹ 3,00,000
Step 1: Calculate Interest on Capital:
Prathma: $₹\ 10,00,000 \times 10\% = ₹\ 1,00,000$
Madhyama: $₹\ 8,00,000 \times 10\% = ₹\ 80,000$
Tritiya: $₹\ 6,00,000 \times 10\% = ₹\ 60,000$
$\Rightarrow$ Total Interest = ₹ 2,40,000
Step 2: Compare Interest with Profit
Since Profit (₹ 3,00,000) > Interest on Capital (₹ 2,40,000),
$\Rightarrow$ Full interest on capital will be allowed.
Step 3: Remaining profit = ₹ 3,00,000 – ₹ 2,40,000 = ₹ 60,000
This remaining profit is distributed in ratio 2:2:1:
Total ratio = 5 parts
Prathma: $\dfrac{2}{5} \times ₹\ 60,000 = ₹\ 24,000$
Madhyama: $\dfrac{2}{5} \times ₹\ 60,000 = ₹\ 24,000$
Tritiya: $\dfrac{1}{5} \times ₹\ 60,000 = ₹\ 12,000$
Final Distribution:
Prathma: ₹ 1,00,000 + ₹ 24,000 = ₹ 1,24,000
Madhyama: ₹ 80,000 + ₹ 24,000 = ₹ 1,04,000
Tritiya: ₹ 60,000 + ₹ 12,000 = ₹ 72,000
(ii) When Net Profit = ₹ 1,20,000
Step 1: Interest on Capital requirement = ₹ 2,40,000 (as above)
But profit is only ₹ 1,20,000, which is less than interest required.
$\Rightarrow$ Interest will be allowed in the ratio of capital contributions.
Capital Ratio:
10,00,000 : 8,00,000 : 6,00,000 = 10 : 8 : 6
$\Rightarrow$ Simplified = 5 : 4 : 3
Total parts = 12
Proportionate Interest Distribution:
Prathma: $\dfrac{5}{12} \times ₹\ 1,20,000 = ₹\ 50,000$
Madhyama: $\dfrac{4}{12} \times ₹\ 1,20,000 = ₹\ 40,000$
Tritiya: $\dfrac{3}{12} \times ₹\ 1,20,000 = ₹\ 30,000$
Final Distribution:
Prathma: ₹ 50,000
Madhyama: ₹ 40,000
Tritiya: ₹ 30,000

ये लोग आधुनिक भारत के नए ‘शरणार्थी’ हैं, जिन्हें औद्योगीकरण के झंझावात ने अपने घर-ज़मीन से
उखाड़कर हमेशा के लिए विस्थापित कर दिया है।
प्रकृति और इतिहास के बीच यह गहरा अंतर है।
बाढ़ या भूकंप के कारण जो लोग एक बार अपने स्थान से बाहर निकलते हैं, वे जब स्थिति टलती है तो वे दोबारा अपने
जन्म-भूमीय परिवेश में लौट भी आते हैं।
किन्तु विकास और प्रगति के नाम पर जब इतिहास लोगों को जड़मूल सहित उखाड़ता है, तो वे अपनी ज़मीन पर
वापस नहीं लौट पाते।
उनका विस्थापन एक स्थायी विस्थापन बन जाता है।
ऐसे लोग न सिर्फ भौगोलिक रूप से बल्कि मानसिक रूप से भी नहीं उखड़ते, बल्कि उसका सामाजिक और
आवासीय स्तर भी हमेशा के लिए नष्ट हो जाते हैं।
