When two or more people invests in the same business, then this is called partnership and the people who invests in the business are called partners. This chapter is also an application of ratio and proportion like mixture and alligation.
Types of Partnership
1. Simple Partnership If all the partners invest capital for the same time period, then this is known as simple partnership. In this type of partnership profit or loss is distributed amongst the partners in the ratio of their’ investments.
2. Compound Partnership If all the partners invest capital for different period of time, then this is called compound partnership. In this type of partnership, we calculate capital for each partner as (capital x number of units of time).
Types of Partner
1. Active Partner A partner who manages the business is known as active partner or working partner.
2. Sleeping Partner A partner who only invests money and does not take part in managing the company is called sleeping partner.
Different Cases of Problems of Partnership
Case I When the investments made by all the partners are for the same time period, then gain or loss is distributed amongst them in the ratio of their investments.
Example A and B invested Rs 24000 and Rs 8000 for a period of 2 yr. After 2 yr, they earned Rs 48000. What will be the shares of A and B out of this earning?
(a) Rs 12000, Rs 36000
(b) Rs 14000, Rs 34000
(c) Rs 12000, Rs 26000
(d) Rs 18000, Rs 30000
Case II If the investments are made for different time periods, then for each partner^ we calculate the capital as (Capital x Number of units of time).
Example A starts a business with Rs 4000 and B joins the business 4 months later with an investment of Rs 5000. After a year, they earn a profit of Rs 22000. Find the shares of A and B.
(a) Rs 14000, Rs 8000
(b) Rs 12000, Rs 10000
(c) Rs 15000, Rs 7000
(d) Rs 16000, Rs 6000
Some Useful Facts/Formula
- If x1 :x2 :x3 is the ratio of investments and P1: P2 : P3 be the ratio of profits, then ratio of time periods is given by
P1/x1:P2/x2:P3/x3
Example A, B and C invested capitals in the ratio of 2 : 3 : 5. At the end of the business terms, they received the profit in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 12. Find the ratio of time for which they contributed their capitals?
(a) 25: 11: 14
(b) 24:13: 15
(c) 25: 10: 24
(d) 27 : 11 : 13
- If ratio of profits and ratio of time periods are given and the ratio of investments is to be known
P1/t1:P2/t2:P3/t3
Where, P1:P2 :P3 and t1:t2:t3 are the ratios of profits and time periods, respectively.
Example A,B and C, each does certain investments for time periods in the ratio of 5: 6 :8. At the end of the business term, they received the profits in the ratio of 5 : 3 :12. Find the ratio of investments of A, B and C.
(a) 2 : 4 : 3
(b) 4 : 1 : 3
(c) 2 : 1 : 4
(d) 2 : 1 : 3
