A B and C share 5:2:3. B dies and A and C take his share in 4:1. What will be the new ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 33:17

Direct answer: Option A, 33:17. The total ratio is 5+2+3=10. A has 5/10, B has 2/10 and C has 3/10. B’s share of 2/10 is taken by A and C in 4:1, a total of five parts. A receives (2/10)×(4/5)=4/25, while C receives (2/10)×(1/5)=1/25. Convert to denominator 50: A’s old share is 25/50 and the gain is 8/50, giving 33/50. C’s old share is 15/50 and the gain is 2/50, giving 17/50. Thus the new ratio is 33:17. Option A is correct. Option B, 5:3, is the ratio of A and C before B’s share is transferred. Option C, 9:4, is not obtained by adding the correct gains. Option D, 4:1, is only the gain-sharing ratio. Check: 33/50+17/50=1. Memory cue: the surviving partners keep their own shares and add the deceased partner’s share received by them.
