The old profit-sharing ratio of A, B and C is 2:5:3. B retires, and A and C continue in the new ratio 7:5. What is the gaining ratio of A and C?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 23:7

The governing rule for a gaining ratio is gain = new share − old share. The old ratio 2:5:3 totals 10, so A’s old share is 2/10 and C’s old share is 3/10. The new ratio 7:5 totals 12, so A’s new share is 7/12 and C’s new share is 5/12. A’s gain is 7/12 − 2/10 = 35/60 − 12/60 = 23/60. C’s gain is 5/12 − 3/10 = 25/60 − 18/60 = 7/60. Removing the common denominator gives the gaining ratio 23:7, so option A is correct. Option C is merely the new profit-sharing ratio, not the ratio in which the continuing partners gain the retiring partner’s share. Option B reverses the two gains, and option D uses neither correct calculation.
