Question

A and b were partners c joins them and it is decided that a receives half of b share and c receives one third of a share find new ratio

Answer 1

Given:

• A & B are partners in a firm

• C joins the firm

• A’s share will be half of B’s and C’s Share will be 1/3rd of A’s

As the existing ratio is not given, we will take the existing ratio as 1:1, as per the principles.

So A’s Ratio is ½ and B’s Ratio is ½

To find:

New Ratio

Solution:

A’s Share = ½ of B’s share

= ½ of ½  

=¼

B’s Share = ½

As its unchanged

C’s Share = ⅓ of A’s Share

= ⅓ of ¼ , i.e. ⅓ * ¼

= 1/12

So A’s share = 3/12

    B’s Share = 6/12

    C’s Share = 1/12
