Answer 1

Asha and Nisha were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio 3:1. Charu was admitted as a new partner for 1/4^th share in the profits of the firm which she acquired equally from Asha and Nisha. The new profit sharing ratio of Asha, Nisha and Charu will be 5: 1: 2.

Explanation:

Charu will acquire`1/4 xx 1/2 = 1/8` from each Asha & Nisha

New Share of Asha =`3/4 -1/8 =(6-1)/8 =5/8`

New Share of Nisha =` 1/4-1/8 = (2-1)/8 = 1/8`

New Share of Charu =`1/4 xx 2/2 = 2/8`

New  Profit Sharing Ratio =  5 : 1 : 2
