विकल्प

• 9 : 20 : 7

• 8 : 21 : 7

• 10 : 19 : 7

• 7 : 22 : 7

Answer 1

The profit sharing ratio of A, B and C was 9 : 20 : 7.

Explanation:

Old Share of A and B = 1 : 2

A's New share = `1/3xx(1-1/4)`

= `1/3xx3/4=(1xx9)/(4xx9)=9/36`

B's New share = `2/3-1/9=6/9-1/9=(5xx4)/(9xx4)=20/36`

C's share = `1-9/36-20/36=36/36-9/36-20/36=7/36` 

A : B : C = 9 : 20 : 7
