A, B and C share profits in the ratio 2:7:1. B retires, and A and C acquire B’s share in the ratio 3:4. What will be the new profit-sharing ratio of A and C?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1:1

B’s share of the total profit is \(7/10\). Since A and C acquire it in the ratio 3:4, A receives \(3/7 \times 7/10=3/10\) and C receives \(4/7 \times 7/10=4/10\). Thus, A’s new share is \(2/10+3/10=5/10\), while C’s new share is \(1/10+4/10=5/10\). Therefore, the new ratio is 1:1. The ratio 3:4 is only the ratio in which B’s share is acquired, not the final profit-sharing ratio. Exam tip: first calculate the retiring partner’s share, then distribute it among the gaining partners.
