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. Calculate new profit sharing ratio of remaining partners.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 19 : 11 : 20
Kumar’s share = 3/10, taken by Lakshya and Manoj in 3 : 2.
Lakshya gains 3/5 × 3/10 = 9/50; Manoj gains 2/5 × 3/10 = 6/50
Lakshya = 2/10 + 9/50 = 10/50 + 9/50 = 19/50
Manoj = 1/10 + 6/50 = 5/50 + 6/50 = 11/50
Naresh = 4/10 = 20/50 (no change)
New ratio = 19 : 11 : 20
