Correct Answer: Distributed among  partner in their old profit sharing ratio 


Solution : Answer = Distributed among partner in their old profit-sharing ratio 

If no information regarding workmen's compensation claims is provided, the workmen's compensation reserve appearing in the balance sheet will be distributed among the partners based on their old profit-sharing ratio. This ensures consistency with the existing allocation method until further information or adjustments are made.
Hence, the correct option is 3.
