Old partners share profits in the ratio 8:5:2. A new partner gets a 1/5 share: 1/15 from the first partner and the balance from the second partner only. What is the new ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 7:3:2:3

The governing concept is that the specified sacrifice is taken first, and the balance of the incoming partner’s share is taken from the other named partner. The old ratio 8:5:2 totals 15, so the old shares are 8/15, 5/15 and 2/15. The first partner sacrifices 1/15. The new partner’s total share is 1/5 = 3/15, so the second partner sacrifices the balance, 3/15 − 1/15 = 2/15. The retained shares are therefore 8/15 − 1/15 = 7/15 for the first partner, 5/15 − 2/15 = 3/15 for the second, and 2/15 for the third. The incoming partner gets 3/15. Hence the new ratio is 7:3:2:3. Option A is correct; the other options either deduct the wrong amount from the second partner or alter the unaffected third partner.
