Question

Equal profit ratio of three partners is:

• A. $1:1:1$
• B. $4:1:2$
• C. $1:1:1$
• D. $1:1:1$

Hint:

For equal distribution among $n$ partners, the ratio is always $1:1:1:\dots:n$ times.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Concept of equal profit-sharing ratio.
When three partners agree to share profits equally, the ratio must distribute the profit into three equal parts.
Step 2: Division of 1 into three equal parts.
If total profit = 1, dividing equally among three partners: \[ \frac{1}{3} : \frac{1}{3} : \frac{1}{3} = 1:1:1 \]
Step 3: Eliminate wrong options.
- Option (B) $4:1:2$ is unequal.
- Option (C) and (D) appear confusingly written, but the only correct equal ratio is $1:1:1$.
Step 4: Conclude.
Hence, the equal profit ratio for three partners is $1:1:1$.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{1:1:1} \]
