Rajinder and Binod are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 3:2. They admitted Gaurav as a new partner for 1/4 share. The new profit sharing ratio between Rajinder and Binod will be 1:2. The new profit sharing ratio between Rajinder, Binod and Gaurav will be:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Rajinder: Binod : Gaurav = 1:2:1
Gaurav takes 1/4, so 3/4 is left for Rajinder and Binod, and the question says they will share it in the new ratio of 1 : 2. Their old ratio of 3 : 2 is therefore not needed.
Gaurav = 1/4
Remaining share = 1 − 1/4 = 3/4
Rajinder = 3/4 × 1/3 = 1/4
Binod = 3/4 × 2/3 = 2/4
Rajinder : Binod : Gaurav = 1/4 : 2/4 : 1/4 = 1 : 2 : 1
