Aman, Naman and Neel were partners in a firm sharing profits in the 2rd ratio of $\displaystyle 1$ : $\displaystyle 2$ : 1. Neel retires and he surrenders of his share in favour $\displaystyle 3$ of Aman and the remaining share in favour of Naman. Calculate the new profit sharing ratio of Aman and Naman.
Marking-scheme solution
Given ratio of Aman Naman Neel
$\displaystyle 1$ : $\displaystyle 2$ : $\displaystyle 1$
New Share = Old Share + Gain
Aman’s old share = $\displaystyle 1$/$\displaystyle 4$
Aman’s gain = $\displaystyle 2$/$\displaystyle 3$ of Neel’s share
= $\displaystyle 2$/$\displaystyle 3$ x $\displaystyle 1$/$\displaystyle 4$ = $\displaystyle 2$/$\displaystyle 12$
Aman’s new share = $\displaystyle 1$/$\displaystyle 4$ + $\displaystyle 2$/$\displaystyle 12$ = $\displaystyle 5$/$\displaystyle 12$
Naman’s old share = $\displaystyle 2$/$\displaystyle 4$
Naman’s gain = $\displaystyle 1$/$\displaystyle 3$ of Neel’s share
= $\displaystyle 1$/$\displaystyle 3$ x $\displaystyle 1$/$\displaystyle 4$ = $\displaystyle 1$/$\displaystyle 12$
Naman’s new share = $\displaystyle 2$/$\displaystyle 4$ + $\displaystyle 1$/$\displaystyle 12$ =$\displaystyle 7$/$\displaystyle 12$
New profit sharing ratio of Aman : Naman
$\displaystyle 5$ : $\displaystyle 7$
