X, Y and Z are partners in the ratio of 1/2 : 2/5 : 1/10. What will be the new ratio of the remaining partner if X retires?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → 4 : 1
When nothing else is said, the continuing partners keep sharing in their old ratio between themselves.
Y : Z = 2/5 : 1/10
Taking 10 as the common denominator, Y : Z = 4/10 : 1/10
New ratio of Y and Z = 4 : 1
