A B C share profits in 8:5:3. B retires and A C's new ratio is 3:2. What is A's gain?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: One tenth

Direct answer: A's gain is 1/10, so option A is correct. The old ratio A:B:C is 8:5:3, whose total is 16. Therefore A's old share is 8/16 = 1/2. After B retires, A and C share profits in the new ratio 3:2, whose total is 5. A's new share is 3/5. Gain means the increase in A's share: 3/5 − 1/2 = 6/10 − 5/10 = 1/10. Option A is correct. Option B, 8/16, is only A's old share, not the gain. Option C, 4/80, equals 1/20 and does not match the difference. Option D, 3/80, also does not follow from the two ratios. The important step is to convert both shares to comparable fractions before subtracting. Memory cue: new share minus old share gives gain.
