The old profit-sharing ratio among Rajender, Satish, Tejpal was 2:2:1. The new Profit Sharing Ratio after Satish's retirement is 3: 2. The gaining ratio is:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 1:1
Gain of each remaining partner = new share − old share.
Old shares: Rajender 2/5, Satish 2/5, Tejpal 1/5
New shares (3:2): Rajender 3/5, Tejpal 2/5
Rajender’s gain = 3/5 − 2/5 = 1/5
Tejpal’s gain = 2/5 − 1/5 = 1/5
Gaining ratio = 1/5 : 1/5 = 1:1
The new ratio 3:2 is not the gaining ratio: the two partners gain equal shares even though their new shares differ.
