A B and C share in 2:1:7. C retires and his share is taken by A B in 4:3. What will be the new ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 3:2

The direct answer is option A, 3:2. The old ratio A:B:C is 2:1:7, so the total is 10 parts. C retires and gives up 7/10 of the profit. A and B acquire that 7/10 in the ratio 4:3. The seven parts are divided into 4 + 3 = 7, so A gets 4/10 and B gets 3/10. A's new share is 2/10 + 4/10 = 6/10. B's new share is 1/10 + 3/10 = 4/10. Thus the new ratio is 6:4, which reduces by 2 to 3:2. Option A is correct. Option B, 4:3, is only the gaining ratio, not the final profit-sharing ratio. Option C, 2:1, is the old ratio of A and B and ignores C's transferred share. Option D, 6:4, represents the unreduced ratio; it is numerically equivalent to 3:2, but in a single-best-answer question the simplified form in option A is the expected answer. Exam cue: distinguish the gaining ratio from the new ratio, then simplify the final parts.
