A, B & C are partners in a partnership firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 4:3:2. B decides to retire from the firm. Calculate the new profit sharing between the remaining partners in the following conditions-

If B gives his whole share to A only:

2:3 3:2 2:7 7:2

7:2

B share= 3/9 A new share= 4/9+3/9 = 7/9 C new share remains same means 2/9 So, the new ratio is 7/9:2/9 or 7:2
