GR = NR-OR

$Mala=\frac{3}{5}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{3-2}{5}=\frac{1}{5}$

$Neela=\frac{2}{5}-\frac{1}{5}=\frac{2-1}{5}=\frac{1}{5}$

GR = 1:1

Answer Key:

Old Ratio

$Ramu=\frac{3}{15}$ 

$\mathrm{Somu}=\frac{5}{15}$

$\mathrm{Gopu}=\frac{7}{15}$

$\mathrm{Gopu}=\frac{7}{15}\times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{21}{60}$

$\mathrm{Somu}=\frac{7}{15}\times \frac{1}{4}=\frac{7}{60}$

$=\frac{21}{60}:\frac{7}{60}=21:7=3:1$

Gaining Ratio = 3:1

New Ratio =Old Ratio+Share Gained

$\mathrm{Ramu}=\frac{3}{15}+\frac{21}{60}=\frac{12+21}{60}=\frac{33}{60}$

$\mathrm{Somu}=\frac{5}{15}+\frac{7}{60}=\frac{20+7}{60}=\frac{27}{60}$

$=\frac{33}{60}:\frac{27}{60}=33:27=11:9$

$Navin=\frac{1}{2}$

$Ravi=\frac{1}{4}$

$Kumar=\frac{1}{4}$

Kumar Sharetaken up by Navin and Ravi equally

$\mathrm{Navin}=\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{8}$

$\mathrm{Ravi}=\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{8}$

New Share

$\mathrm{Navin}=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{4+1}{8}=\frac{5}{8}$

$\mathrm{Ravi}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{2+1}{8}=\frac{3}{8}$

New Profit Sharing Ratio=5:3

Gaining Ratio

$\mathrm{Navin}=\frac{5}{8}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{5}{8}-\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{8}$

$\mathrm{Ravi}=\frac{3}{8}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{8}-\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{8}$

Gaining Ratio=1:1
