Question : X, Y and Z are partners in proportion of $\frac{3}{6}, \frac{2}{6}$ and $\frac{1}{6}$ respectively. D was admitted to the firm as a new partner with $\frac{1}{6}$ th share. The new profit-sharing ratios of the partners will be
Option 1: 15:10:5:6
Option 2: 3:2:1:1
Option 3: 15:10:5:1
Option 4: None of the above
Correct Answer: 15:10:5:6
Solution : Answer = 15:10:5:6
Calculation of new profit sharing ratios : Let total profit be =1 Share given to D= $\frac{1}{6}$ Remaining Share= $1-\frac{1}{6}=\frac{5}{6}$ Now the old partners will share this remaining profit in their old profit-sharing ratios: Hence, X's Share $=\frac{3}{6}$ of $\frac{5}{6}=\frac{5}{12}$ y's Share $=\frac{2}{6}$ of $\quad \frac{5}{6}=\frac{5}{18}$ Z's Share $=\frac{1}{6}$ of $\frac{5}{6}=\frac{5}{36}$ D's Share $=\frac{1}{6}$ Thus, the new profit-sharing ratio of X, Y, Z and D will be : = $\frac{5}{12}: \frac{5}{18}: \frac{5}{36}: \frac{1}{6}=\frac{15: 10: 5: 6}{36}$=15: 10: 5: 6. Hence, the correct option is 1.
Question : Ram and Shyam are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of $\frac{7}{12}: \frac{5}{12}$ They admit Gopi as a new partner for 1/6th share, which he acquires equally from Ram and Shyam, the new profit sharing ratios of the partners will be
Question : The value of $\frac{(x-y)^3+(y-z)^3+(z-x)^3}{6(x-y)(y-z)(z-x)}$, where $x \neq y \neq z$, is equal to:
Question : Simplify the given expression. $\frac{x^3+y^3+z^3-3 x y z}{(x-y)^2+(y-z)^2+(z-x)^2}$
Question : If $\frac{1}{x+2}=\frac{3}{y+3}=\frac{1331}{z+1331}=\frac{1}{3}$, then what is the value of $\frac{x}{x+1}+\frac{y}{y+6}+\frac{z}{z+2662}$?
Question : A, B and C were partners in a firm sharing profits in a 3: 3: 2 ratio. They admitted D as a new partner for 4/7 profit. D acquired his share 2/7 from A, 1 / 7 from B and 1 / 7 from C. The new profit sharing ratio will be
