The word is "of B" and not "after B".... therefore the answer is 47:25 ........... for the first qestion

and for the senond the answer is 2250:1350.

A B C

Old profit sharing ratio 4/9 3/9 2/9

Sacrificing ratio = New-old

5/8*3/9 3/8*3/9

= 15/72 9/72

new ration A:B= 15/72+4/9 and for b its 9/72+2/9

OR 47:25

U mean to say the answer given in the institute material is not correct.I have noticed this type errors in mathematics also.I have already posted a similar problem "Printing errors in CPT Study Materials".I already given a mail to institute also.

Why can't our CA Club experts & ICAI members take this matter seriously and correct the problems ASAP.

old profit sharing ratio is 4/9,3/9,2/9

and new profit sharing ratio is 5/8 : 3/8

sacrifying ratio=new ratio -old ratio

5/8-4/9=13/72 And 3/8-2/9=11/72 hence ratio =13:11 therefor option "a" is correct
