Correct Answer: Both 1 and 2


Solution : Answer = Both 1 and 2

Interest @ 6% p.a. on balance amount = Rs. $45,000\times\frac{6}{100}\times\frac{6}{12}$ = Rs. 1,350.

Share in the subsequent profits attributable to the use of balance due to him $\frac{\text{Rs.50,000}}{1,85,000}\times{45000}$ = Rs. 12,162.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
