Question

Naveen, Suresh and Tarun are partners, sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5:3:2 . Suresh retires from the firm and his share was acquired by Naveen and Tarun in the ratio of 2:1 . Calculate the new share of profit :

Accepted Answer

Let's calculate step-by-step:Old Shares:

Naveen = \frac{5}{10}, Suresh = \frac{3}{10}, Tarun = \frac{2}{10}

Suresh's Share to be acquired:

\frac{3}{10}

Acquisition ratio by Naveen and Tarun:

2 : 1

Calculate Gaining Share:

Naveen’s Gain = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{10} = \frac{2}{10}

Tarun’s Gain = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3}{10} = \frac{1}{10}

Calculate New Share (

New Share = Old Share + Gaining Share

):

Naveen’s New Share = \frac{5}{10} + \frac{2}{10} = \frac{7}{10}

Tarun’s New Share = \frac{2}{10} + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{3}{10}

Thus, the new profit-sharing ratio between Naveen and Tarun is

7 : 3

.

Naveen, Suresh and Tarun are partners, sharing profits and losses in the ratio of $5 : 3 : 2$ . Suresh retires from the firm and his share was acquired by Naveen and Tarun in the ratio of $2 : 1$ . Calculate the new share of profit :
