A, B and C are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2:1. D is admitted into firm for 14\frac{1}{4} th share of profit, which he gets 18\frac{1}{8} from A and 18\frac{1}{8} from B. Calculate new profit sharing ratio of all the partners.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

A's new share = 36−18=12−324=924\frac{3}{6} - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{12-3}{24} = \frac{9}{24}.

B's new share = 26−18=8−324=524\frac{2}{6} - \frac{1}{8} = \frac{8-3}{24} = \frac{5}{24}.

C's share = 16=424\frac{1}{6} = \frac{4}{24}.

D's share = 14=624\frac{1}{4} = \frac{6}{24}.

New ratio = 9:5:4:6.
