Working Note:
Distribution of Profit:
Profit available for distribution= 172000-12000-20000
= 140000
A's share= [20000*1/4] + [30000*5/10] + [90000*1/3]
= 5000+15000+30000
= 50000
B's share= [20000*1/4] + [30000*3/10] + [90000*1/3]
= 5000+9000+30000
= 44000
C's share= [20000*2/4] + [30000*2/10] + [90000*1/3]
= 10000+6000+30000
= 46000
