X would get $ 90,000 * 50,000 / 150,000 = $ 30,000

Explanation:

Net income of $ 90,000 would be distributed in their profit sharing ratio which is 1:3 for X:Y

So X would get $ 90,000 * 50,000 / 150,000 = $ 30,000

Y would get $ 90,000 * 100,000 / 150,000 = $ 60,000

Net income is distributed after deduction of salaries and interest so it would not include the amount of salary paid to partners.
