#### Solution

Krishna and Balram, who are equal partners, admit Arjun into partnership for 1/4th share, their new profit sharing ratio will be 3:3:2.

Explanation: It is calculated as follows:
Let the total share be 1.

Arjun's share = 1/4 or 2/8

Remaining share = 1-1/4 = 3/4

Krishna's share = 3/4 xx 1/2 = 3/8

Balram's share = 3/4 xx 1/2 = 3/8

New profit sharing ratio of krishna , Balram and Arjun = 3/8 : 3/8 : 2/8 or 3 : 3 : 2.
