A B and C share profits in 5:3:2. C retires and A B take his share in 3:2. What will be the new ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 31:19

Direct answer: Option A, 31:19. The old total ratio is 5+3+2=10, so A has 5/10, B has 3/10 and C has 2/10. C’s retiring share is divided between A and B in 3:2, whose total is 5. Therefore A receives (2/10)×(3/5)=3/25, and B receives (2/10)×(2/5)=2/25. A’s new share is 5/10+3/25=25/50+6/50=31/50. B’s new share is 3/10+2/25=15/50+4/50=19/50. The new ratio is therefore 31:19. Option A is correct. Option B, 5:3, ignores the extra share received from C. Option C, 8:5, does not result from the stated fractions. Option D, 3:2, is only the ratio in which C’s share is gained, not the complete new ratio. Memory cue: add each continuing partner’s gain to the old share.
