उत्तर
Old ratio:
`A : B : C = 1/5 : 1/3 : 7/15`
Taking LCM 15:
`A : B : C = 3 : 5 : 7`
C's share = `7/15`, and it is acquired by A and B in the ratio 3 : 2.
New Shares
A's share:
`1/5 + 7/15 xx 3/5 = 1/5 + 7/25 = 12/25`
B's share:
`1/3 + 7/15 xx 2/5 = 1/3 + 14/75 = 39/75 = 13/25`
Therefore,
New Ratio = A : B = 12 : 13
