X, Y and Z are partners in the ratio of 12:25:110\frac{1}{2}:\frac{2}{5}:\frac{1}{10}. What will be the new ratio of the remaining partner if X retires?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

Converting to common denominator (LCM 10): 12:25:110=510:410:110=5:4:1\frac{1}{2}:\frac{2}{5}:\frac{1}{10} = \frac{5}{10}:\frac{4}{10}:\frac{1}{10} = 5:4:1.

When X retires, unless otherwise stated the remaining partners Y and Z continue in their old ratio, i.e., 4:14:1.
