Charvi and Varun are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 4:1. They admitted Bhumika as a new partner for 1/4 share in the profits, which is acquired wholly from Charvi. Determine the new profit sharing ratio of the partners.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 11:4:5
Bhumika takes her share wholly from Charvi, so only Charvi’s share falls. Varun gives up nothing, and his share stays as it was.
Bhumika’s share = 1/4 = 5/20
Charvi’s new share = Old share − Share surrendered = 4/5 − 1/4 = 16/20 − 5/20 = 11/20
Varun’s share = 1/5 = 4/20
New ratio Charvi : Varun : Bhumika = 11 : 4 : 5
