5 :- Bharati and Astha were partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2. They admitted Dinkar as a partner for 1/5th share in the future profits of the firm which he got equally from Bharati and Astha. Calculate the new profit-sharing ratio of Bharati, Astha, and Dinkar.
Solution:- Dinkar share in profit is 1/5th
Bharati’s new share = 3/5 – (1/5 x 1/2) = 3/5 – 1/10 = 5/10
Astha’s new share = 2/5 – (1/5 x 1/2) = 2/5 – 1/10 = 3/10
Dinkar = 1/5 x 2/2 = 2/10
Thus, new profit sharing ratio of Bharati, Astha and Dinkar is 5:3:2
