Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

A, B, and C share profits in the ratio 3:3:4. This means A gets 3 parts, B gets 3 parts, and C gets 4 parts out of a total of 10 parts.

Current shares:

A = 3/103/10

B = 3/103/10

C = 4/104/10

They decide to share profits equally, so each partner will get 1/31/3 of the total profits.

New shares:

Each partner = 1/31/3 = 10/3010/30

Now, we calculate the changes:

A:

Old = 9/309/30

New = 10/3010/30

Gain = 10/30−9/30=1/3010/30 - 9/30 = 1/30

B:

Old = 9/309/30

New = 10/3010/30

Gain = 10/30−9/30=1/3010/30 - 9/30 = 1/30

C:

Old = 12/3012/30

New = 10/3010/30

Sacrifice = 12/30−10/30=2/3012/30 - 10/30 = 2/30

So, the changes are:

A gains 1/301/30

B gains 1/301/30

C sacrifices 2/302/30

Thus, the correct answer is option 1.
