Answer 2

Given:

Share of A and B=5:3

C's share=1/4th

To find:

The new profit sharing ratio of A, B, and C

Solution:

The new ratio between A, B, C is 15:9:8.

Since the new partner, C, is admitted for 1/4th of the total share, the old partners, A and B, will get the remaining 3/4th share.

We will distribute this remaining share between B and A in their old ratio.

So, the new share of A=5/8 of 3/4

=5/8×3/4

=15/32

Similarly, the new share of B=3/8 of 3/4

=3/8×3/4

=9/32

The new share of C=1/4=8/32

Now, the new shares of A, B, and C are in the following ratio-

A: B: C=15/32: 9/32: 8/32

=15:9:8

Therefore, the new ratio is 15:9:8.
