Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 19 : 11
Old ratio of Arpit, Harpreet and Simrit = 3/6 : 2/6 : 1/6
Share acquired by Harpreet = 3/5 of 3/6 = 9/30
Share acquired by Simrit = 2/5 of 3/6 = 6/30
Harpreet’s new share = 2/6 + 9/30 = 10/30 + 9/30 = 19/30
Simrit’s new share = 1/6 + 6/30 = 5/30 + 6/30 = 11/30
New profit sharing ratio = 19 : 11
