A B and C share 6:4:5. B dies and no new information is given. What will be the new ratio of A and C?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 6:5

The old ratio tells us how A, B, and C shared profit before B’s death. When B leaves and the question gives no special instruction, the remaining partners continue to share in the same mutual proportion in which they previously shared. Therefore, the relevant comparison is only between A’s old share of 6 and C’s old share of 5. B’s number is removed; it is not redistributed unless the question states a new arrangement.

Thus, A and C’s new ratio is obtained directly as A:C = 6:5. Option A is correct. Options B and C do not represent the proper remaining mutual ratio, while 1:1 would be possible only if an equal-sharing arrangement were specifically given. No such information is supplied, so the simplest valid assumption is that the old mutual ratio continues.
