Question

A and B are partners sharing profit in the ratio of 3 : 2. They admit C as a partner by giving him `1/3`rd share in future profits. The new ratio will be:

Options

• 12 : 8 : 5

• 8 : 12 : 5

• 5 : 5 : 12

• None of these

Answer 1

None of these

Explanation:

A's New share = `3/5 xx 2/3 = 6/15`

B's New share = `2/5 xx 2/3 = 4/15`

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

A : B : C = 6 : 4 : 5

Thus, none of the mentioned ratios is correct.
