Question

Saurabh, Shirin, and Somesh are partners in firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1. Somesh retires and the new profit sharing ratio between Saurabh and Shirin is 3 : 2. The gaining ratio between Saurabh and Shirin will be:

विकल्प

• 3 : 2

• 3 : 1

• 1 : 1

• 2 : 1

Answer 1

3 : 2

Explanation:

Gaining ratio = New ratio – Old ratio

Saurabh’s gain = `3/5 - 3/6 = 3/30`

Shirin’s gain = `2/5 - 2/6 = 2/30`

Gaining ratio = 3 : 2

Hence, the correct answer is 3 : 2.
