A, B and C share the profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1. D is admitted. he gets 1/6 share entirely from A. calculate new profit sharing ratio​

Answer 1

Given :- A, B and C share the profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1. D is admitted. he gets 1/6 share entirely from A. calculate new profit sharing ratio ?

Solution :-

Let us assume that, the initial profit/loss of A , B and C are 3x , 2x and x respectively .

now,

→ D gets = (1/6) of A = (1/6) of 3x = (x/2) .

so,

→ Profit/Loss left with A = 3x - (x/2) = (6x - x)/2 = (5x/2) .

then,

→ A : B : C : D = (5x/2) : 2x : x : (x/2)

taking LCM,

→ A : B : C : D = 5x : 2x * 2 : x * 2 : x

→ A : B : C : D = 5x : 4x : 2x : x

→ A : B : C : D = 5 : 4 : 2 : 1 (Ans.)

Answer 2

Given : A, B and C share the profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1.

D is admitted. he gets 1/6 share entirely from A.

To Find : new profit sharing ratio​

Solution:

A : B : C  = 3 : 2 : 1

multiply with 2k

=> A share = 6K

    B share = 4K

    C share  = 2K

D is admitted. he gets 1/6 share entirely from A

=> D gets = (1/6)6K = K

A' s remaining share = 6K - K  = 5K

B and C  amount unchanged :

     A share = 5K

    B share = 4K

    C share  = 2K

     D  share  = K

A : B : C : D =  5K : 4K : 2K : K

=> A : B : C : D =  5  : 4  : 2  : 1
