Question

4. A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio 4:3. They admite C for 1/5 share in profits. A and B decided to share equally in future. Find
new ratio

[Ans. 4:4:2 Or 2:2:11
new ratio,
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Old ratio (A and B) = 3 : 2

C is admitted for 1/4 share

Let the combined share of A, B and C = 1

Combined share of A and B after C's admission = 1 - C's share

= 1 - (1/4) = 3/4

New share :

A = (3/4) * (1/2) = 3/8

B = (3/4) * (1/2) = 3/8

C = 1/4

Therefore, A : B : C = 3/8 : 3/8 : 1/4

= 3 : 3 : 2

Sacrificing ratio = Old ratio - New ratio

A's sacrifice = (3/5) - (3/8) = 9/24

B's sacrifice = (2/5) - (3/8) = 1/24

Therefore, sacrificing ratio of A and b is 9 : 1

Answer 2

Answer:

A'S share=1/2×1/5=1/10

=1/2-1/10=5-1/10

=4/10

B'S share=1/2×1/5=1/10

=1/2-1/10=5-1/10

=4/10

C'S share=1/5=1/5×2/2

=2/10

So,

A:B:C=4:4:2 or 2:2:1
