Question

d) A and B together are sharing 2/3 of the profits of the firm. C and D are sharing
profits in the ratio of 3:2. Find the ratio of A:B:C:D:​

Answer 1

Answer:

A:B:C:D = 5:5:3:2

Explanation:

Total share in business is 1.

When A and B together take over 2/3 of shares , so leftover is what C and D will have.

1-2/3=1/3

C's share=1/3*3/5=3/15

D's share=1/3*2/5=2/15

Now the whole profit share has to be in like terms, thus 2/3*5/5=10/15 which is to be shared by A and B together , i.e half half.

Thus A and B will share 5/15 each

A:B:C:D = 5:5:3:2
