PARTNERSHIP: IMPORTANT FORMULAS

Partnership:
When two or more than two persons run a business jointly, they are called partners and the deal is known as partnership.

Ratio of Divisions of Gains:
When investments of all the partners are for the same time, the gain or loss is distributed among the partners in the ratio of their investments.
Suppose A and B invest Rs. x and Rs. y respectively for a year in a business, then at the end of the year:
(A's share of profit) : (B's share of profit) = x : y.

When investments are for different time periods, then equivalent capitals are calculated for a unit of time by taking (capital x number of units of time). Now gain or loss is divided in the ratio of these capitals.
Suppose A invests Rs. x for p months and B invests Rs. y for q months then,
(A's share of profit) : (B's share of profit)= xp : yq.

Working and Sleeping Partners:
A partner who manages the the business is known as a working partner and the one who simply invests the money is a sleeping partner.

RATIO AND PROPORTION: IMPORTANT FORMULAS

[1] Ratio:
The ratio of two quantities a and b in the same units, is the fraction a/b and we write it as a : b.
In the ratio a : b, we call a as the first term or antecedent and b, the second term or consequent.

Eg. The ratio 5 : 9 represents 5/9 with antecedent = 5, consequent = 9.
Rule: The multiplication or division of each term of a ratio by the same non-zero number does not affect the ratio.
Eg. 4 : 5 = 8 : 10 = 12 : 15. Also, 4 : 6 = 2 : 3.

[2] Proportion:
The equality of two ratios is called proportion.
If a : b = c : d, we write a : b :: c : d and we say that a, b, c, d are in proportion.
Here a and d are called extremes, while b and c are called mean terms.
Product of means = Product of extremes.
Thus, a : b :: c : d  (b x c) = (a x d).

[3] Fourth Proportional:
If a : b = c : d, then d is called the fourth proportional to a, b, c.
Third Proportional:
a : b = c : d, then c is called the third proportion to a and b.
Mean Proportional:
Mean proportional between a and b is root of ab.

[4] Comparison of Ratios:
We say that (a : b) > (c : d) = a/b > c/d  
Compounded Ratio:
The compounded ratio of the ratios: (a : b), (c : d), (e : f) is (ace : bdf).

[5] Duplicate Ratios:
Duplicate ratio of (a : b) is (a2 : b2).
Sub-duplicate ratio of (a : b) is (a : b).
Triplicate ratio of (a : b) is (a3 : b3).
Sub-triplicate ratio of (a : b) is (a1/3 : b1/3).
If a/b =c/d, then (a+b)/(a-b) = (c+d)/ (c-d)[componendo and dividendo]

[6] Variations:
We say that x is directly proportional to y, if x = ky for some constant k and we write, x is proportional to y.
We say that x is inversely proportional to y, if xy = k for some constant k and
we write,  x is inversely proportional y.
