Kumar, Lakshya, Manoj and Naresh are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1 : 4. Kumar retires and his share is acquired by Lakshya and Manoj in the ratio of 3 : 2. The gaining ratio of the remaining partners is ......?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 3 : 2 : 0
Partners — Kumar, Lakshya, Manoj, Naresh
Old Ratio = 3 : 2 : 1 : 4
Total = 10 shares
Kumar retires → his share = 3/10
Lakshya and Manoj acquire Kumar’s share in the ratio 3 : 2.
Since Naresh did not acquire any part of Kumar's share, his gain is zero.
Gaining Ratio (Lakshya : Manoj : Naresh)=3 : 2 : 0
