Kiran and Lata share profits in (3:2). Maya is admitted for (1/4) share. If Maya's share is sacrificed by Kiran and Lata in (2:1) then what is Lata's new share?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (19/60)

The direct answer is option A, 19/60. Before Maya joins, Kiran’s share is 3/5 and Lata’s share is 2/5. Maya receives 1/4 of the total profit. Her share is sacrificed by Kiran and Lata in the ratio 2:1, so Lata sacrifices 1/3 of Maya’s share: 1/3 × 1/4 = 1/12. Lata’s new share is therefore 2/5 − 1/12. Taking denominator 60, 2/5 = 24/60 and 1/12 = 5/60, so the result is 19/60. Option A is correct. Option B, 2/5, is Lata’s old share and ignores her sacrifice. Option C, 1/4, is Maya’s share, not Lata’s new share. Option D, 17/60, does not follow from the stated sacrifice ratio. A useful check is that the new shares are Kiran 3/5 − 1/6 = 13/30, Lata 19/60, and Maya 1/4; together they equal 1.
