Calculation of Gaining ratio
Gaining ratio = New share – old share
| (a) | X | Y | Z | |
| New ratio | = | 1 | - | 1 |
| Old ratio | = | 5 | 4 | 3 |
| X's gain | = | 1 | - | 5 |
| 2 | 12 | |||
| = | 1 | |||
| 12 |
| Z's gain | = | 1 | - | 3 |
| 2 | 12 | |||
| = | 3 | |||
| 12 |
| So, Gaining Ratio of X & Z | = | 1 | : | 3 |
| 12 | 12 | |||
| = | 1 | : | 3 |
| (b) | X | Y | Z | |
| New ratio | = | 7 | - | 5 |
| Old ratio | = | 5 | 4 | 3 |
| X's gain | = | 7 | - | 5 |
| 12 | 12 | |||
| = | 2 | |||
| 12 |
| Z's gain | = | 5 | - | 3 |
| 12 | 12 | |||
| = | 2 | |||
| 12 |
| So, Gaining Ratio of X & Z | = | 2 | : | 2 |
| 12 | 12 | |||
| = | 2 | : | 2 | |
| = | 1 | : | 1 |
| (c) | X | Y | Z | |
| New ratio | = | 5 | - | 7 |
| Old ratio | = | 5 | 4 | 3 |
| X's gain | = | 5 | - | 5 |
| 12 | 12 | |||
| = | Nil |
| Z's gain | = | 7 | - | 3 |
| 12 | 12 | |||
| = | 4 | |||
| 12 |
| So, Gaining Ratio of X & Z | = | Nil | : | 4 |
