Ajay and Bhavesh share profits in (5:4). Chetan is admitted for (1/6) share and the remaining profit is shared in the old ratio. What is the new ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (25:20:9)

The direct answer is A, 25:20:9. Chetan receives 1/6, so the old partners together retain 5/6. Their old ratio is 5:4, whose total is 9. Ajay’s new share is (5/6) × (5/9) = 25/54. Bhavesh’s new share is (5/6) × (4/9) = 20/54. Chetan’s share is 1/6 = 9/54. Hence the new ratio is 25:20:9. Option A is correct. Option B, 5:4:1, does not correctly reduce the remaining 5/6 and also does not represent the exact common denominator. Option C, 20:16:9, wrongly uses a different scaling for the old partners. Option D, 15:12:6, reduces to 5:4:2, so Chetan’s share is not 1/6. Memory cue: multiply the remaining share by each old-ratio fraction.
