A new partner gets (1/6) share. Old partners share in (4:3:2) and sacrifice in the old ratio. What will be the first partner's share in the new ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (10/27)

The correct answer is option A: 10/27. The new partner receives 1/6, so the old partners together retain 1 − 1/6 = 5/6. They divide this remaining share in the old ratio 4:3:2. The total of these ratio parts is 9, so the first partner receives 4/9 of the remaining share. Thus the first partner’s new share is (5/6) × (4/9) = 20/54 = 10/27. Option A is therefore correct. Option B, 4/9, is only the first partner’s fraction within the old group; it forgets that the old group now has only 5/6 of the firm. Option C, 5/12, uses an incorrect multiplier. Option D, 8/27, does not follow from 4/9 of 5/6. The safe method is: subtract the newcomer’s share from one, then multiply the remainder by the concerned old partner’s ratio fraction.
