Murli, Naveen and Omprakash are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 3/8, 1/2 and 1/8. Murli retires and surrenders 2/3rd of his share in favour of Naveen and the remaining share in favour of Omprakash. Calculate the new profit-sharing ratio and the gaining ratio.
Old Ratio = 3 : 4 : 1. Murli’s share = 3/8: Naveen acquires 3/8 × 2/3 = 2/8; Omprakash acquires 3/8 – 2/8 = 1/8.
New Profit-Sharing Ratio = 6 : 2 = 3 : 1; Gaining Ratio (Naveen : Omprakash) = 2 : 1.
