A and B share profits in (4:5). C gets (2/9) share equally from A and B. What is the new profit sharing ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (3:4:2)

Direct answer: Option A, 3:4:2, is correct. A and B originally share profits in 4:5, so their shares are 4/9 and 5/9. C receives 2/9, and this is taken equally from A and B. Equal sacrifice means each gives up half of 2/9, namely 1/9. Therefore A’s new share is 4/9 − 1/9 = 3/9, and B’s new share is 5/9 − 1/9 = 4/9. C keeps 2/9. The resulting ratio is 3:4:2. Option A exactly matches. Option B, 4:5:2, fails to subtract the sacrificed amounts from A and B. Option C, 8:10:4, is numerically equivalent to 4:5:2, so it has the same error and is not the final ratio. Option D, 2:5:2, wrongly reduces A by two parts instead of one. Exam method: divide the incoming partner’s share according to the sacrifice condition, subtract each sacrifice from the relevant old share, and retain the incoming share unchanged.
