Admission of a Partner

Question:

A and B are partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 2 : 3. C is admitted for 1/5 share in the profits of the firm. If C gets it wholly from A, the new profit sharing ratio after C's admission will be:

Options:

01:03:03

03:01:01

02:02:01

01:03:01

Correct Answer:

01:03:01

Explanation:

C' share = 1/5
C gets whole 1/5 by A
So, New Share of A = 2/5-1/5
                              =1/5
Share of B= 3/5
NEW PROFIT SHARING RATIO IS 1/5 : 3/5:1/5
                                                 = 1:3:1
