Das and Sinha are partners in a firm sharing profits in 4 : 1 ratio. They admitted Pal as a new partner for 1/4th share in the profits, which he acquired wholly from Das. The new profit sharing ratio of the partners is-
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 11 : 4 : 5
When the new partner takes his share wholly from one partner, only that partner’s share falls; the other old partner keeps his old share.
Pal’s share = 1/4 = 5/20
Das’s new share = 4/5 − 1/4 = 16/20 − 5/20 = 11/20
Sinha’s share (unchanged) = 1/5 = 4/20
New ratio of Das, Sinha and Pal = 11 : 4 : 5
