Basic Concept of Partnership

Partnership is an important topic that belongs to the quantitative aptitude section of SSC CGL and other competitive exams. It is a relationship between two or more people who agree to share profits and losses of a business.

Types of Partnership

There are two main types:

1. Simple Partnership

All partners invest their money for the same period. Profit or loss is divided in the ratio of their investments.

Formula: If A and B invest capital in the ratio of A : B, and both invest for the same time, then:

Profit Ratio = Capital of A : Capital of B

2. Compound/Time-Based Partnership

Partners invest for different time durations. Profit or loss is divided in the ratio of Capital × Time.

Formula: If A invests Rs. a for t₁ months, and B invests Rs. b for t₂ months:

Profit Ratio = a × t1 ​: b × t2​
