Anshu and Nitu are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2. They admitted Jyoti as a new partner for 3/10 share which she acquired 2/10 from Anshu and 1/10 from Nitu. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio of Anshu, Nitu and Jyoti.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is option 1- 4:3:3.
Old ratio = 3:2 (Anshu and Nitu)
Jyoti admits with 3/10
Sacrifice of Anshu = 2/10
Sacrifice of Nitu = 1/10
New share = Old share - Sacrifice share
Anshu's new share = 3/5 - 2/10
= (6-2)/10
= 4/10
Nitu's new share = 2/5 - 1/10
= (4-1)/10
= 3/10
New ratio = 4/10 :3/10 :3/10
= 4:3:3
