                                                                  A                             B                               C
Old profit sharing ratio           4/9                                 3/9                             2/9
New profit sharing ratio= New-old                                                   
                                                   5/8-4/9                                         3/8-2/9     
                                              =   13/72                                       11/72
    A:B=                                                                 OR 13:11

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.

 

@ vikas kumar gupta

I am not getting you ...that how can you subtract ratio instead of adding??

this won't work for other problems

 

@ rakesh

I think the answer would be 26:11 I am getting

@ both can you explain your methods

thanks a lot

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

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.

when i gave cpt .... all goodwill problem in partnership...... were wrongly solved.......

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
