Q: What is the correct answer for CUET UG Accounts Q33?

The correct answer is A. D's share = 1/6. Half of D's share = (1/6) * (1/2) = 1/12. This is given by A. A's sacrifice = 1/12. A's new share = 5/10 - 1/12 = (60-10)/120 = 50/120 = 5/12. Remaining half of D's share = 1/12. This is given by B and C in the ratio 3:2. B's share from this = (1/12) * (3/5) = 3/60 = 1/20. C's share from this = (1/12) * (2/5) = 2/60 = 1/30. B's new share = 3/10 - 1/20 = (12-2)/40 = 10/40 = 1/4. C'

Question

Q33. A, B and C were partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5:3:2. They admitted D into partnership for 1/6th share in profits, half (1/2) of which was given by A and the remaining half was given by B and C in the ratio 3:2. The new profit-sharing ratio will be:

FirstInTest · Accepted Answer

D's share = 1/6. Half of D's share = (1/6) * (1/2) = 1/12. This is given by A. A's sacrifice = 1/12. A's new share = 5/10 - 1/12 = (60-10)/120 = 50/120 = 5/12. Remaining half of D's share = 1/12. This is given by B and C in the ratio 3:2. B's share from this = (1/12) * (3/5) = 3/60 = 1/20. C's share from this = (1/12) * (2/5) = 2/60 = 1/30. B's new share = 3/10 - 1/20 = (12-2)/40 = 10/40 = 1/4. C's new share = 2/10 - 1/30 = (6-1)/30 = 5/30 = 1/6. D's share = 1/6. New Ratio = A:B:C:D = 5/12 : 1/4 : 1/6 : 1/6. To make denominators common (60): A = 25/60, B = 15/60, C = 10/60, D = 10/60. New Ratio = 25:15:10:10, which simplifies to 5:3:2:2.
