Amit and Beena were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3:1. Chaman was admitted as a new partner for 1/6th  share in the profits. Chaman acquired 2/5th of his share from Amit. How much share did Chaman acquire from Beena ?

Answer»

Share of profit a acquired by Chaman from Aman = 1/6 x 2/5 = 2/30

Therefore, share of profit acquired by Chaman from Beena = 1/6 – 2/30 = 3/30 = 1/ 10

                  OR

Share of profit acquired by Chaman from Beena  = 3/5 x 1/6 = 3/30 = 1/10

Detailed Answer :

Old Ratio of Amit and Beena = 3/4 and 1/4

Share of Chaman = 1/6

The part he got from Amit = 2/5 of 1/6 = 2/5 x 1/6  = 2/30 = 1/15

Remaining part he got from Beena  = 1/6 -1/15  = 5- 2/30 = 3/30 = 1/10th  part
