Das and Sinha are partners in a firm sharing profits in 4:1 ratio. They admitted Pal as a new partner for 1/4th share in the profits, which he acquired wholly from Das. The new profit sharing ratio of the partners is-
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 11:4:5
Pal takes his whole share from Das, so only Das's share falls; Sinha keeps his old share.
Pal's share = 1/4 = 5/20
Das's new share = 4/5 − 1/4 = 16/20 − 5/20 = 11/20
Sinha's share = 1/5 = 4/20
New ratio of Das, Sinha and Pal = 11:4:5
