A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 4:3. C was admitted as a new partner for 1/4 share in the future profits of the firm. What would be the new profit sharing ratio of A, B and C?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

C takes 14\frac{1}{4}; the remaining 34\frac{3}{4} is shared by A and B in 4:34:3.

A =34×47=1228= \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{4}{7} = \frac{12}{28}, B =928= \frac{9}{28}, C =728= \frac{7}{28}.

New ratio =12:9:7= 12:9:7.
