P Q R and S are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 7:5:2:1. S retires from the firm. Calculate new ratio
after S's retirement and also gaining ratio.
​

Answer 1

P:Q:R=7:5:3 (OLD RATIO)

"Q:R=7:5 (NEW RATIO, SAME AS BETWEEN P AND Q)

Q'S GAIN =7/12-5/15=(35-20÷60=15)

R'S GAIN =5/10-5/15=(25-12÷60=13)

Answer 2

Answer:

new ratio and gaining ratio

7:5:2

Explanation:

Old ratio of P, Q ,R and S

=7 : 5 : 2 : 1 [7/15 : 5/15 : 2/15 : 1/15]

$p \: gains \: = \frac{7}{15} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{7}{60} \\ \\ q \: gains \: = \frac{5}{15} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{60} \\ \\ r \: gains \: = \frac{2}{15} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{60}$

new ratio :

7/60 : 5/60 : 2/60

OR ,

7 : 5 : 2 ✔️✔️
