A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2. They admit C for 1/5th share in the future profits which he gets equally from both A and B. The new profit sharing ratio will be:
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 2
Old Profit Sharing Ratio of A and B = 3:2
Total parts = 3 + 2 = 5
A's old share =
B's old share =
C is admitted for share which he gets equally from both A and B.
This means both A and B sacrifice equal amounts to accommodate C.
C's share =
Since C takes equally from both:
- A's sacrifice =
- B's sacrifice =
Calculating New Shares:
A's new share =
B's new share =
C's new share =
New Profit Sharing Ratio = A : B : C = 5/10 : 3/10 : 2/10
