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
