Question

AB C and D are partner shearing profits in the ratio 5:4:3:2. A retires and B,C and D decide to share the profits and loses equally in future . Calculate the gaining ratio.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Correct option is D)

Old ratio (A, B C and D) = 5 : 4 : 3 : 2

New ratio (B, C, and D) = 1 : 1 : 1

Gaining ratio = New ratio - Old ratio

B's gain = (1/3) - (4/14) = 2/14

C's gain = (1/3) - (3/14) = 5/14

D's gain = (1/3) - (2/14) = 8/14
