Determine the new profit-sharing ratio among partners, after Rachit's admission.

Options:

2:1:2:1

5:3:2:2

5:2:3:2

3:5:2:2

Correct Answer:

5:3:2:2

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- 5:3:2:2.

Old ratio between old partners is capital ratio which means 35,000:21,000:14,000
                                                                                         =  5:3:2
Rachit share = 1/6
Total share = 1
Remaining share = 1- 1/6
                         = 5/6
This 5/6 share is distributed between old partners in old ratio to know their new share
Himanshu = 5/6 X 5/10
               = 25/60
Parnav = 5/6 X 3/10
          = 15/60
Tushar = 5/6 X 2/10
          = 10/60
NEW RATIO = 25/60 :15/60:10/60:1/6
                 = 25/60 :15/60:10/60:10/60
                 = 25:15:10:10
                 =  5:3:2:2
