Question

Q. .A and B are partners in ratio of 7:5.
They admit C for1/6 of share who takes
from A 1/24 and 1/8 from B. Find out new ratio and sacrificing ratio. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Old ratio (A and B) = 7 : 5

C is admitted for 1/5 share

Let the combined share of profit for all partners after C's admission = 1

Combined share of X and Y after Z's admission = 1 - C's share

= 1 - (1/5)

= 4/5

New ratio = Old ratio * Combined share of A and B

A's new share = (7/12) * (4/5)

= 7/15

B's new share = (5/12) * (4/5)

= 5/15

C's share = 1/5

Therefore, new share of A, B and C = (7/15), (5/15) and (1/5)

= (7/15), (5/15) and (3/15)

= 7 : 5 : 3
