Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- ₹2,000 profit.

Total capital of both partners = 2,00,000 + 1,00,000
                                               = ₹3,00,000

Interest on capital of both partners = 3,00,000 x 6/100

Profit after this adjustment = 20,000-18,000
                                            = ₹2000
