Read the following passage and answer the question.
Ravi, Kavi and Sunny are partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio 4 : 2 : 3. On 1st April 2022, Sunny gives notice for his retirement. His share was taken by Ravi and Kavi in 13 : 11 and goodwill of the firm was valued at ₹ 72,000.
After three months, they admit Hari as a new partner for 1/5th share in firm who brings ₹ 2,00,000 as capital and necessary amount for goodwill in cash which was valued at ₹ 80,000 for the firm. Hari acquired his share equally from Ravi and Kavi.
Identify the gaining ratio between Ravi and Kavi on retirement of Sunny.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 13 : 11
The gaining ratio is the ratio in which the continuing partners acquire the retiring partner's share. Here the passage itself says Sunny's share was taken by Ravi and Kavi in 13 : 11.
Check: Ravi gains 13/72 and Kavi gains 11/72 of the firm's profit (Sunny's 3/9 split 13 : 11), so the gaining ratio = 13 : 11.
