Kavita and Lalita share profits in a ratio of 2:1. Total profit = ₹ 76,000.
Mohan is admitted for 1/4th share, which means he gets ₹ 76,000 × 1/4 = ₹ 19,000.
Mohan's guaranteed amount = ₹ 25,000.
Deficiency = Guaranteed amount - Share of profit = ₹ 25,000 - ₹ 19,000 = ₹ 6,000.
Kavita and Lalita share this deficiency in their profit ratio of 2:1.
Kavita's share of deficiency = 6,000×32=₹4,000.
So, the deficiency borne by Kavita is ₹ 4,000.
Correct answer: Option 1.
