A B and C share in 1:6:3. A retires and B and C take his share equally. What will be the new ratio?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 13:7

The direct answer is A, 13:7. The old total is 1+6+3=10, so A has 1/10, B has 6/10, and C has 3/10. A retires and gives the whole 1/10 share to B and C equally. Each receives half of 1/10, which is 1/20. B’s new share is 6/10+1/20=12/20+1/20=13/20. C’s new share is 3/10+1/20=6/20+1/20=7/20. Hence the new ratio is 13:7. Option A is correct. Option B, 6:3, ignores the extra share. Option C, 1:1, describes equal acquisition, not final shares. Option D, 7:4, does not result from the calculation. Always distinguish the ratio in which a retiring share is acquired from the final profit-sharing ratio.
