Anjana, Bandana and Chandana are partners in a firm. They share profit and loss of the firm equally. Bandana died and his share is acquired by Anjana and Chandana in the ratio of 1:1. New profit sharing ratio between Anjana and Chandana would be:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 1 : 1
A continuing partner’s new share = old share + share acquired from the deceased partner.
Old shares: Anjana, Bandana and Chandana 1/3 each
Bandana’s 1/3 goes to Anjana and Chandana in 1 : 1, so each gets 1/6
Anjana = 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2
Chandana = 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2
New ratio = 1 : 1
Note 1: NTA picked this question from an NCERT (2026-27) exercise and changed the figures. Do not ignore NCERT while practising numericals.
Note 2: NCERT’s chapter-end key prints (b) 4:5 for the book’s item below, which is a misprint. The working gives (a) 8:7: Anand 1/3 + 3/15 = 8/15 and Bahadur 1/3 + 2/15 = 7/15.
