A, B and C share profits in the ratio 7:2:1. C retires, and the new ratio of A and B is 4:1. What is the gaining ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1:0

Gaining ratio measures the increase in each continuing partner’s share; it is not the final profit-sharing ratio. The old shares of A and B are 7/10 and 2/10. Under the new ratio 4:1, their shares are 4/5 = 8/10 and 1/5 = 2/10. A’s gain is 8/10 − 7/10 = 1/10, whereas B’s gain is 2/10 − 2/10 = 0. Therefore, the gaining ratio is 1/10:0, which simplifies to 1:0. Option A is correct. This shows that A alone acquires C’s entire 1/10 share, while B’s share remains unchanged. Option B reverses the result, option C assumes equal gains, and option D states the new ratio rather than the gaining ratio.
