A and B share profits in (7:1). C gets (1/4) share taken equally from A and B. What is the new ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (6:0:2)

The old ratio of A and B is 7:1, so the whole profit is divided into eight equal parts. C receives one-fourth of the total profit. This new share is taken equally from A and B, so each old partner sacrifices one-eighth. A originally had seven-eighths and gives up one-eighth, leaving six-eighths. B originally had one-eighth and gives up one-eighth, leaving no share. C receives two-eighths, because one-fourth equals two-eighths.

Therefore, the new shares are A = 6/8, B = 0/8 and C = 2/8. Written in ratio form, the new ratio is 6:0:2, which is option A. It may look unusual that B’s share becomes zero, but it follows directly from B’s old share and his equal sacrifice. The ratio could be simplified mathematically to 3:0:1, but the supplied option correctly preserves the common denominator.
