Question:

A, B and C share the profits in the ratio 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/6. C retires, then Gain ratio is?

Answer: 3 : 2

Step-by-step explanation:

What is Gain ratio?

Gain ratio is the ratio in which the continuing partners acquire the share of retiring partner.

Formula: Gain ratio = New ratio - Old ratio

Here, Old ratio = 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/6

= 3/6 : 2/6 : 1/6

= 3 : 2 : 1

Given that, C retires.

New ratio = 3 : 2

Hence, applying formula of Gain ratio

A's Gain:

= 3/5 - 3/6

= (18 - 15) / 30

= 3/30 or 1/10

B's Gain:

= 2/5 - 2/6

= (12 - 10)/30

= 2/30 or 1/15

Thus, Gain ratio = 1/10 : 1/15

= 3/30 : 2/30

= 3 : 2

Gain ratio is 3 : 2.
