Question

Surbhi and Leena were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5 : 3. Ashi was admitted as a new partner for `1/4` share in the profits of the firm. Ashi acquired `3/5` of her share from Surbhi. From the following, how much share did Ashi acquired from Leena:

विकल्प

• `1/10`

• `3/20`

• `2/5`

• `3/8`

Answer 1

`bb(1/10)`

Explanation:

Ashi’s Share = `1/4`

Share acquired from Surbhi = `1/4 xx 3/5`

= `3/20`

Share acquired from Leena = Ashi’s Total Share − Share acquired from Surbhi

= `1/4 - 3/20`

= `(1 xx 5)/(4 xx 5) - 3/20`

= `5/20 - 3/20`

= `2/20`

= `1/10`
