A and B share profits in (7:5). C gets (1/6) share only from A. What is the new profit sharing ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (5:5:2)

Direct answer: The new ratio is A:B:C = 5:5:2, so option A is correct. Initially A and B share in 7:5, whose total is 12. Therefore A's old share is \(7/12\), and B's is \(5/12\). C receives \(1/6=2/12\), entirely from A. A's new share is \(7/12−2/12=5/12\). B gives nothing, so B remains \(5/12\). C has \(2/12\). Removing the common denominator gives 5:5:2. Option A follows exactly. Option B forgets that A must surrender one-sixth. Option C gives A and C incorrect amounts. Option D reduces B even though C's share came only from A. The key phrase is “only from A”: subtract the new partner's share only from A.
