Answer 1

A and B are partners sharing profits and losses in 3 : 2. They admit C for a `1/5` th share. In future the ratio between A and B would be 2 : 1. The New profit-sharing ratio will be 8 : 4 : 3.

Explanation:

Determine the Remaining Profit Share:

Remaining Share = `1 - 1/5`

= `4/5`

Distribute the Remaining Share between A and B:

A’s New Share = `4/5 xx 2/3`

= `8/15`

B’s New Share = `4/5 xx 1/3`

= `4/15`

C’s New Share = `1/5`

= `(1 xx 3)/(5 xx 3)`

= `3/15`

The New profit-sharing ratio of A, B, and C = `8/15 : 4/15 : 3/15` or 8 : 4 : 3
