Answer 1

Dharam, Karam and Raman were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 7 : 8 : 5. On 31st March, 2025, Raman retired from the firm. Dharam and Karam decided to share profits in future in the ratio of 11 : 9. Their gaining ratio will be 4 : 1.

Explanation:

Calculate gaining share;

Gaining share = New share − Old share

Dharam’s gain = `11/20 - 7/20`

= `4/20`

Karam’s gain = `9/20 - 8/20`

= 1/20

The gains of Dharam and Karam are 4 : 1.
