SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the formulas of partnership in business, specifically addressing the division of gains among partners based on their investments. When partners invest for the same duration, profits are shared in proportion to their investments, represented as A's share of profit : B's share of profit = x : y. For investments made over different time periods, profits are divided based on equivalent capitals calculated as (capital x number of units of time), leading to the ratio A's share of profit : B's share of profit = px : qy. Additionally, the distinction between working partners, who manage the business, and sleeping partners, who only invest, is clarified.

1. Partnership : When two or more than two persons run a business jointly, they are called partners and the deal is known as partnership
2. Ratio of Division of Gains:
(i)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 end of the year
(A's share of profit) : (B's share of profit) = x:y
(ii) 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) = px : qy
3. Working and Sleeping Partners:
A partner who manages the business is known as a working partner and the one who simply invests the money is a sleeping partner
