A, B and C share profits in the ratio 4:2:1. B dies, and A and C acquire B’s share in the ratio 3:2. What is the new ratio of A and C?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 26:9

The relevant principle is that the deceased partner’s entire old share is added to the continuing partners according to the stated acquisition ratio. The old total is 4+2+1=7, so A=4/7, B=2/7 and C=1/7. A receives 3/5 of B’s share, equal to 3/5×2/7=6/35. C receives 2/5×2/7=4/35. Thus A’s new share is 4/7+6/35=20/35+6/35=26/35, while C’s new share is 1/7+4/35=5/35+4/35=9/35. The common denominator gives 26:9, so option A is correct. Other options result from ignoring the old shares or applying 3:2 to the final shares.
