Anshu and Nitu are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2. They admitted Jyoti as a new partner for 3/10 share which she acquired 2/10 from Anshu and 1/10 from Nitu. The new profit sharing ratio of Anshu, Nitu and Jyoti.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Old Ratio of Anshu and Nitu = 3:2

Converting to fractions:

  • Anshu's share = 35\frac{3}{5}
  • Nitu's share = 25\frac{2}{5}

Jyoti acquires 310\frac{3}{10} share by taking:

  • 210\frac{2}{10} from Anshu
  • 110\frac{1}{10} from Nitu

Calculating New Shares:

Anshu's new share = 35−210=610−210=410\frac{3}{5} - \frac{2}{10} = \frac{6}{10} - \frac{2}{10} = \frac{4}{10}

Nitu's new share = 25−110=410−110=310\frac{2}{5} - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{4}{10} - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{3}{10}

Jyoti's share = 310\frac{3}{10}


New Profit Sharing Ratio = 410:310:310\frac{4}{10} : \frac{3}{10} : \frac{3}{10} = 4 : 3 : 3

The answer is Option 1.
