Admission of a Partner

Question:

A and B are partners sharing profit or loss in the ratio of 3:2. C is admitted into partnership as a new partner. A sacrifices 1/3 of his share and B sacrifices 1/4 of his share in favour of C. What will be C's share in the firm?

Options:

1/5

3/10

3/5

None of the Above

Correct Answer:

3/10

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- 3/10.

Old ratio = 3:2
C is admitted into partnership as a new partner. A sacrifices 1/3 of his share and B sacrifices 1/4 of his share in favour of C.

Sacrifice by A = 1/3 x 3/5
                     = 1/5
Sacrifice of B = 1/4 x 2/5
                     = 1/10

C's share = 1/5+1/10
                = (2+1)/10
                = 3/10
