Question

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 $\frac{1}{6}$ th share in the profits. Chaman acquired $\frac{2}{5}$th of his share from Amit. How much share did Chaman acquire from Beena?

Answer 1

Share of profit acquired by Chaman from Amit =$\frac{1}{6}\times \frac{2}{5}=\frac{2}{30}$

Therefore, share of profit acquired by Chaman from Beena =$\frac{1}{6}-\frac{2}{30}=\frac{(5-2)}{30}=\frac{3}{30}$
