Question

a b and c were partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 2/6,1/2,1/6 a retires and surrender 2/3 of his share in favour of b and remaining in favour of c calculate new ratio and gaining ratio​

Answer 1

New ratio13:5

Gaining ratio4:2

Answer 2

Answer:

New Ratio= 13:5

Gaining Ratio = 4:2

Explanation:

• We know that

    A: B: C = 2/6 , 1/2 , 1/ 6

  we have to equal the denominator of the ratio. So it will be 2 : 3: 1.

• A retires and surrenders 2/3 of his share in favor of B and remaining in favor of C.

 A to B =

2/3 X 2/6 = 4/18

B's share = 3/6+4/18= 13/18

A to C =

1/3 X 2/6 = 2/18

C's share = 1/6 + 2/18 = 5/18

hence, New ratio = 13:5

• Gaining ratio = new ratio - old ratio

B's share= 2/3 - 2/6 = 4/18

C's share = 1/3 - 2/6 = 2/18

Therefore, gaining ratio = 4:2 or 2:1

and new ratio = 13: 5
