Correct Answer: 13:14, GR 1:8


Solution : Answer = 13:14, GR 1:8

Calculation of New Profit-sharing Ratio: X Z;

(a) Existing profit share 4/9 2/9

(b) Profit Share given by Y to X: 1/9 × 1/3 1/27 ...

Profit Share given by Y to Z: 8/9 × 1/3 8/27

(c) New Profit Share of X and Z (a + b) 13/27 14/27

Thus, the New Profit-sharing Ratio of X and Z = 13/27:14/27 = 13:14.

Calculation of Gaining Ratio:

Profit Share given by Y to X = 3/9 × 1/9 = 3/81 or 1/27 Profit Share given by Y to Z = 3/9 ×8/9 = 24/81 or 8/27 Thus, Gaining Ratio of X and Z = 1/27: 8/27 or 1: 8.
Hence, the correct option is 1.
