Answer 2

New ratio of remaining partners is calculated below.

Explanation:

The ratio given for the partners A, B and C are ½, 2/5 and 1/10.

Or we can even write this as 5:4:1.

As there is no information given on the A and B obtaining C’s profit share in case he retires, we calculate the new ratio of profit share between A and B by eliminating C’s share.  

Calculation of New Profit Ratio:

A’s share will be

$=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac {5}{5} = \frac {5}{10}$

B’s share will be

$=\frac {2}{5} \times \frac {2}{2} =\frac {4}{10}$

So, new ratio of A and B = 5 : 4

Thus, the new ratio of the remaining partners if C retires will be 5 : 4
