Option 1: 1:1
Option 2: 2:2
Option 3: 7:8
Option 4: 3:5
Correct Answer: 7:8
Solution :
Answer = 7:8
Ram= $\frac{1}{3}$
Hari= $\frac{1}{3}$
Chandan= $\frac{1}{3}$
Ram takes= $\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{2}{5}=\frac{2}{15}$
Chandan takes= $\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{3}{5}=\frac{3}{15}$
New profit sharing ratio
Ram= $\frac{1}{3}+\frac{2}{15}=\frac{5+2}{15}=\frac{7}{15}$
Chandan= $\frac{1}{3}+\frac{3}{15}=\frac{5+3}{15}=\frac{8}{15}$
N.P.S.R= 7:8
Gaining ratio= 2:3
Hence, the correct option is 3.
