# A, B, and C Were Partners in a Firm Sharing Profits in the Ratio of 8 : 4 : 3. B Retires and His Share is Taken up Equally by a and C. Find the New Profit-sharing Ratio. - Accountancy

Numerical

A, B, and C were partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 8 : 4 : 3. B retires and his share is taken up equally by A and C. Find the new profit-sharing ratio.

#### Solution

Old Ratio (A, B and C) = 8 : 4 : 3

B retires from the firm.

His profit share = 4/15

B’s share taken by A and C in ratio of 1 : 1

"Share taken by A" : 4/15 xx 1/2 = 2/15

"Share taken by C" : 4/15 xx 1/2 = 2/15

New Ratio = Old Ratio + Share acquired from B

"A's New Share" = 8/15 + 2/15 = 10/15 = 2/3

"C's New Share" : 3/15 + 2/15 = 5/15 = 1/3

New Profit Ratio (A and C) = 2 : 1
