Ram Surrendered 1/4" of his share and Sohan 1/34 of his share in favor of Govind. Find out the new ratio
(a) 27:17:15
(b) 3:2:1
(c) 27:16:17
(d) 25: 20:15​

Answer 1

Answer:

(c) 27:16:17

Explanation:

old ratio = 3:2

Ram surrender = 3/5×1/4 = 3/20

Sohan surrender = 2/5 × 1/3 = 2/15

New ratio :-

Govind = 3/20 + 2/15 = 9+8/60= 17/60

Ram = 3/5 - 3/20 = 12-3/20 = 9/20

Sohan = 2/5 - 2/15 = 6- 2/15= 4/15

Ram : Sohan : Govind

9/20 : 4/15 : 17/60

27/60 : 16/60 : 17/60

New ratio : 27 : 16 : 17
