Question

A and B are partners sharing profit or loss in the ratio of 3 : 2. C is admitted into partnership as a new partner. A sacrifice `1/3` of his share of B sacrifices `1/4` of his share in favour of C. What will be the C’s share in the firm?

विकल्प

• `1/5`

• `2/10`

• `3/10`

• None of the above

Answer 1

`bb(3/10)`

Explanation:

The old ratio of A and B is 3 : 2.

A’s sacrifice = `1/3 xx 3/5`

= `3/15`

= `1/5`

= `(1 xx 2)/(5 xx 2)`

= `2/10`

B’s sacrifice = `1/4 xx 2/5`

= `2/20`

= `1/10`

C’s share is the sum of the sacrifices made by A and B.

C’s share = A’s sacrifice + B’s sacrifice

= `2/10 + 1/10`

= `3/10`
