When a partnership agreement is silent about the profit-sharing ratio, as per the Indian Partnership Act, 1932, partners share profits equally irrespective of their capital contributions.
Given:
- Neha's Capital = Rs. 30,000
- Saloni's Capital = Rs. 90,000
- Partnership agreement is silent on profit sharing
Since there is no agreement regarding profit distribution, both partners will share profits in equal proportion.
Number of partners = 2
Saloni's share in profits = 21 = Half of total profit
It's important to note that profit sharing in the capital ratio (3:9 or 1:3) would only apply if the partnership deed specifically mentions it. In the absence of any such clause, the default rule of equal sharing applies regardless of how much capital each partner has contributed.
Correct Option: 3 (Half of total profit)
