Old partners share profits in the ratio 6:5:4. A new partner takes a 1/5 share: 1/15 from the first partner, 1/15 from the second partner, and the balance from the third partner. What is the new ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 5:4:3:3

The governing concept is that the incoming partner’s share equals the combined sacrifice of the old partners. The old ratio 6:5:4 totals 15, so the old shares are 6/15, 5/15 and 4/15. The first and second partners each sacrifice 1/15. The new partner’s total share is 1/5 = 3/15, so the third partner sacrifices the balance: 3/15 − 1/15 − 1/15 = 1/15. The retained shares are therefore 6/15 − 1/15 = 5/15, 5/15 − 1/15 = 4/15 and 4/15 − 1/15 = 3/15. The incoming partner receives 3/15. Thus the new ratio is 5:4:3:3, making option A correct. The other options fail to deduct the specified sacrifices consistently.
