Answer 1

Aaroh, Bhuvan and Charu were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 6. Charu died. Aaroh and Bhuvan acquired Charu's share in the ratio of 2 : 1. The new profit sharing ratio between Aaroh and Bhuvan after Charu’s death will be 5 : 4.

Explanation:

Original Shares of Aaroh, Bhuvan, and Charu: Aaroh’s share = `1/9`

Bhuvan’s share = `2/9`

Charu’s share = `6/9`

Charu’s Share Distribution: Total share of Charu = `6/9`

Aaroh and Bhuvan acquired Charu’s share in the ratio of 2 : 1

Aaroh’s share from Charu = `2/3xx6/9`

= `12/27-4/9`

Bhuvan’s share from Charu = `1/3xx6/9=6/27=2/9`

New Shares of Aaroh and Bhuvan: 

Aaroh’s new share = `1/9+4/9=5/9`

Bhuvan’s new share = `2/9 + 2/9=4/9`

New Profit - Sharing Ratio

Aaroh : Bhuvan = `5/9:4/9`

= 5 : 4
