A and B's old ratio is (5:3). C is admitted for (1/5) share which A alone sacrifices. What will be the new ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (17:15:8)

Direct answer: Option A, 17:15:8. The old total ratio is 5 + 3 = 8, so A’s old share is 5/8 and B’s is 3/8. C receives 1/5, and A alone sacrifices this amount. A’s new share = 5/8 − 1/5 = 25/40 − 8/40 = 17/40. B does not sacrifice, so B remains at 3/8 = 15/40. C’s share is 1/5 = 8/40. Therefore the new ratio A:B:C = 17:15:8, so option A is correct. Option B, 5:3:1, uses the old numbers without correctly adjusting A and without expressing the admitted share on a common basis. Option C incorrectly reduces A to 4. Option D reverses the order and gives unrelated numbers. Memory cue: subtract the new partner’s share only from the partner who sacrifices.
