A and B share profits in the ratio 8:3. C gets a 2/11 share, and the remaining profit is shared in the old ratio. What is the new ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 72:27:22

The governing concept is proportional distribution of the residual profit. C receives 2/11, so the profit remaining for A and B together is 1 − 2/11 = 9/11. This remainder is divided in their old ratio 8:3, whose total is 11. Therefore A receives (9/11) × (8/11) = 72/121, while B receives (9/11) × (3/11) = 27/121. C’s share, 2/11, expressed with denominator 121, is 22/121. The common-denominator ratio is therefore 72:27:22, making option A correct. The shares add to 121/121, confirming the calculation. Options B, C and D either use the old ratio without adjusting the remainder or fail to distribute 9/11 proportionately.
