The profit – sharing ratio of two partners is 2 : 3 if another partner is added with 40% of the profit – sharing ratio and the profit – sharing ratio of the initial two partners remains the same. Find the new profit – sharing ratio.

Correct Answer: 6 : 9 : 10
The initial profit – sharing ratio of the two partners = 2 : 3 The new ratio: The share of the third partner = 40% The remaining = 60% The ratio of the first two partners from the remaining = 2 : 3 2 : 3 from 60% = 24%, 36% The ratio = 24 : 36 : 40 = 6 : 9 : 10
