Answer 2

Answer:

d) 2:2:1

Explanation:

As per the given data of the question,

Krishna and Balram are equal partners.

Let the shares of krishna be = x

And the share of Balram be = x

That is the total share = 2x

Now,

They include Arjun into partnership for 1/4th share, that is

Arjun's share =  1/4th share of 2x

Arjun's share $\frac{1}{4} \times 2x = \frac{x}{2}$

So,

Their new profit sharing ratio will be

$x : x: \frac{x}{2}$

$2x:2x:x$

$2:2:1$

Hence, the required ratio of share be = 2:2:1

So,the correct option is (d).
