Solution

Calculation of new ratio
Ram & Madan are partners in equal ratio
New ratio $=$ old ratio $\times$ balance ratio
Ram $= \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 3 = \frac{2}{6}$
Madam $= \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 3 = \frac{2}{6}$
Soham $= \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{2}{2} = \frac{2}{6}$

Therefore new ratio $= 1 : 1 : 1$
