Answer» ★ Old RATIO : A : B : C = 5 : 4 : 3
• B retired and his share was divided equally between A and C
• B's Share taken by A = ⇒ 4/12 × 1/2 = 4/24 • B's Share taken by C = ⇒ 4/12 × 1/2 = 4/24 ★ New Profit SHARING Ratio : New Ratio = Old Ratio + Share acquired from B • A's New Share = ⇒ 5/12 + 4/24 = (10 + 4)/24 ⇒ 14/24 • C's New Share = ⇒ 3/12 + 4/24 = (6 + 4)/24 ⇒ 10/24 ★ New Profit Sharing Ratio :
⇒ 14 : 10 = 7 : 5 Therefore, the new profit sharing ratio of A and C = 7 : 5. |
