Question

Akhil, Bajrang and Chinmay were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 2. Dilawar was admitted as a new partner in the firm. Dilawar acquired his \( \frac{1}{10} \) share from Akhil and \( \frac{2}{10} \) from Bajrang.
Dilawar was admitted for which of the following share in the profits of the firm?

• A. \( \frac{1}{10} \)
• B. \( \frac{2}{10} \)
• C. \( \frac{3}{10} \)
• D. \( \frac{4}{10} \)

Hint:

When a new partner acquires shares from existing partners, simply add the fractions acquired from each to determine his total share.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Dilawar received \( \frac{1}{10} \) share from Akhil and \( \frac{2}{10} \) from Bajrang.
Therefore, total share of Dilawar = \( \frac{1}{10} + \frac{2}{10} = \frac{3}{10} \)
Final Answer: \( \frac{3}{10} \)
