A, B and C share profits in the ratio 2:7:6. B retires, and A and C’s new ratio is 3:5. What is A’s gain?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 29/120

The governing concept is the gaining ratio: a continuing partner’s gain equals the new profit share minus the old profit share. The old ratio is 2:7:6, whose total is 15, so A’s old share is 2/15. After B retires, A and C divide future profits in the ratio 3:5, whose total is 8; hence A’s new share is 3/8. Therefore, A’s gain is 3/8 − 2/15. Using 120 as the common denominator, 3/8 = 45/120 and 2/15 = 16/120; the difference is 29/120. Thus option C is correct. The other options do not equal this properly converted difference between A’s new and old shares.
