Option 1: New ratio and gaining ratio
Option 2: Old ratio and gaining ratio
Option 3: Old ratio and sacrificing ratio

Correct Answer: New ratio and gaining ratio
Solution : Answer = New ratio and gaining ratio.
In the absence of any agreement, continuing partners are presumed to gain in their new ratio, and therefore, their gaining ratio is assumed to be the same as their old profit-sharing ratio. This ensures continuity and fairness in the distribution of profits among partners in the partnership firm.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
