Das and Sinha are partners in a firm sharing profits in 4:1 ratio. They admitted Pal as a new partner for 1/4 share in the profits, which he acquired wholly from Das. Determine the new profit sharing ratio among Das, Sinha and Pal.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 11:4:5
Pal takes his whole 1/4 share from Das alone, so only Das's share falls; Sinha keeps his old share.
Old shares: Das 4/5, Sinha 1/5
Das's new share = 4/5 - 1/4 = 16/20 - 5/20 = 11/20
Sinha's new share = 1/5 = 4/20
Pal's share = 1/4 = 5/20
New ratio Das : Sinha : Pal = 11:4:5
