A and B have old shares of 2/5 and 3/5. Their new ratio is 3:2. What is B's gaining share?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Zero

The new ratio 3:2 represents shares of 3/5 for A and 2/5 for B because the total parts are five. B's old share was already 3/5, but his new share is only 2/5. Using the gaining-ratio rule, B's change is New Share - Old Share = 2/5 - 3/5 = -1/5. A negative result means that B has sacrificed or lost 1/5; it does not mean that B has gained. Since gaining share is recorded only when the new share exceeds the old share, B's gaining share is zero. Therefore, option A is correct; the fractional options confuse B's old or new share with his gain.
