Question

6. Ved and Roy are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 4: 1. They admit Gopal
as a new partner who gets 1/5th of his share of profit, entirely from Ved. Calculate new
profit-sharing ratio​

Answer 1

Answer:

old ratio of ved and roy = 4:1

= 4/5,1/5

ved gives to Gopal = 4/5 ×1/5 = 4/25

after surrendering to Gopal, ved share will be

4/5-1/5=3/5

now new ratio is

3/5:1/5:4/25

3/5 ×25:1/5 ×25:4/25 ×25

15:5:4 (ans)
