Gori and Sori share profits in the ratio of 3 : 2. Hori was admitted as a partner who gets 1/5 share which Hori acquires 3/20 from Gori and 1/20 from Sori. New profit sharing ratio of Gori, Sori and Hori would be:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 9 : 7 : 4
Each old partner’s new share is his old share less the part he gives to the new partner.
Gori’s new share = 3/5 − 3/20 = 12/20 − 3/20 = 9/20
Sori’s new share = 2/5 − 1/20 = 8/20 − 1/20 = 7/20
Hori’s share = 1/5 = 4/20
New profit sharing ratio = 9 : 7 : 4
