Question

Ishan, Jatin and Kapil were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5 : 4 : 1. Jatin retired and his share was taken up by Ishan and Kapil in the ratio 1 : 1. The new profit-sharing ratio between Ishan and Kapil after Jatin’s retirement will be:

विकल्प

• 5 : 1

• 1 : 1

• 5 : 4

• 7 : 3

Answer 1

7 : 3

Explanation:

Ishan’s new share = Old Share + Share received

= `5/10+[4/10xx1/2]`

= `5/10+4/20`

= `7/10`

Kapil’s new share = Old Share + Share received

`1/10+[4/10xx1/2]`

= `1/10+(2/10)`

= `3/10`

Thus, the new ratio is 7 : 3.
