Answer 1

Deen, Raju and Hari were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 7 : 6 : 7. On 31st March, 2025, Raju died. Deen and Hari decided to take over Raju’s share equally. The new profit sharing ratio between Deen and Hari will be 1 : 1.

Explanation:

1. Calculate Gain from Raju’s Share:

Raju’s share is `6/20`. Deen and Hari take it equally `(1/2 "each")`

Deen’s Gain = `6/20 xx 1/2`

= `3/20`

Hari’s Gain = `6/20 xx 1/2`

= `3/20`

2. Calculate New Shares:

Deen’s New Share = `7/20 + 3/20`

= `10/20`

Hari’s New Share = `7/20 + 3/20`

= `10/20`

The ratio between Deen and Hari is 10 : 10, which simplifies to 1 : 1.
