Answer 1

Sudama, Sharma and Varun were partners in a firm sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 6 : 4 : 3. Sharma retired from the firm on 31^st March, 2025. The gaining ratio of Sudama and Varun will be 2 : 1.

Explanation:

Old ratio of profits and losses:

6 : 4 : 3

When Sharma retires, his share is taken over by Sudama and Varun.

Since no new ratio is given, they gain Sharma’s share in their old ratio.

Old ratio of Sudama and Varun:

6 : 3

Simplify:

2 : 1
