Aman and Naman are partners. They admitted Jyoti as a new partner for 3/10 share which she acquired 2/10 from Aman and 1/10 from Naman. The new profit sharing ratio of Aman, Naman and Jyoti is 4:3:3. Find the old ratio between Aman and Naman.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 3:2
Each old partner’s old share is his new share plus the share he gave up to the new partner.
Aman: new 4/10 + given up 2/10 = 6/10
Naman: new 3/10 + given up 1/10 = 4/10
Old ratio = 6 : 4 = 3 : 2
