A B and C share profits in 4:3:2. B retires and A C acquire his share in 5:4. What will be the new ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 17:10

The direct answer is A, 17:10. The old total is 4+3+2=9, so A has 4/9, B has 3/9, and C has 2/9. B’s retiring share, 3/9, is acquired by A and C in 5:4. Divide 3/9 into nine equal subparts: A gets 5/9 of 3/9 = 5/27, and C gets 4/9 of 3/9 = 4/27. A’s new share is 4/9 + 5/27 = 12/27+5/27=17/27. C’s new share is 2/9+4/27=6/27+4/27=10/27. Therefore the new ratio is 17:10. Option A is correct. Option B is the old A:B ratio, not the final ratio. Option C is only the acquisition ratio. Option D does not follow from the fractions. Check that 17/27+10/27=1.
