Sita and Gita are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2. They admitted Rita as a new partner for 1/5th share in the future profits of the firm which she gets equally from Sita and Gita. State the new profit sharing ratio of Sita, Gita and Rita.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 5 : 3 : 2
Rita's share = 1/5 = 2/10, taken equally: 1/10 from Sita and 1/10 from Gita.
Sita = 3/5 − 1/10 = 6/10 − 1/10 = 5/10
Gita = 2/5 − 1/10 = 4/10 − 1/10 = 3/10
Rita = 2/10
New profit sharing ratio = 5 : 3 : 2
