Solution

The correct option is D Rs.16,000
C is admitted in the business for 1/5 share and contributing Rs.10000
Based on this, total capital of the firm will be i.e. Rs.10000*5
Total Capital of the firm will be Rs.50000.

New Ratio of the existing partners will be :

C's share is 1/5, the balance share available for A & B will be 1- 1/5 =4/5

A's new ratio will be = old ratio * available balance ratio
=3/5 * 4/5
=12/25
B's new ratio will be= old ratio * available balance ratio
= 2/5 * 4/5
= 8/25
New partnership ratio will be = 12:8:5

Therefore the adjusted capital of A & B is as under:

A - Rs.50000/25*12 =Rs.24000
B - Rs.50000/25*8 =Rs. 16000
C- Rs.50000/25*5 = Rs.10000
