Murli, Naveen and Omprakash are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3/8, 1/2 and 1/8. Murli retires and surrenders 2/3rd of his share in favour of Naveen and the remaining share in favour of Omprakash. The gaining ratio of the remaining partners is-

2:1

The correct answer is Option (2) → 2:1

Murli’s share = 3/8.

He gives 2/3 of 3/8 to Naveen ⇒ (2/3)×(3/8)=1/4

He gives the remaining 1/3 of 3/8 to Omprakash ⇒ (1/3)×(3/8)=1/8

Gains: Naveen : Omprakash = 1/4: 1/8 = 2:1
