A, B and C share profits in the ratio 2:2:1. C retires, and the new ratio of A and B is 3:2. Who acquired the greater share of profit?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: A

Before C’s retirement, the total ratio is 5, so A and B each hold 2/5. After retirement, the new ratio of A and B is 3:2, giving A 3/5 and B 2/5. A’s share has increased from 2/5 to 3/5, a gain of 1/5. B’s share has remained 2/5, so B’s gain is zero. Consequently, A acquired the greater share of profit; in fact, A alone acquired C’s entire 1/5 share. Option B is incorrect because B’s share did not increase, option C ignores the unequal gains, and option D is false because A clearly gained. Therefore, option A is correct.
