Working Notes
:

Calculation of Interest on Capital
Interest on Jay’s capital = 80000*9/100=7200 Rs
Interest on Vijay’s capital = 50,000*9/100 = 4500 Rs
Total interest = 7200+4500 = Rs 11,700

Calculation of proportionate Interest on capital
Jay: (7200/11700)*7800 = Rs 4800
Vijay: (4500/11700) * 7800 = Rs 3000
