| 10 |
Gaining ratio of L & M ( given ) = 2 : 1
| L’s gain | = | 2 | x | 2 |
| 10 | 3 | |||

| 30 |
| M’s gain | = | 2 | x | 1 |
| 10 | 3 | |||

| 30 |
New Share = Old share + Gain
| L’s New Share | = | 5 | + | 4 |
| 10 | 30 | |||
| = | 19 | |||
| 30 |
| M’s New Share | = | 3 | + | 2 |
| 10 | 30 | |||
