Solution

The correct option is A 1:2
Old ratio (Hari, Roy, and Prasad) = 3 : 5 : 1
Roy's profit share = 5/9
Prasad decided to take his share
New profit share = Old profit share + Share taken from Roy
Hari's new share = (3/9) +0 = 3/9
Prasad's new share = (1/9) + (5/9) = 6/9 or 2/3
New profit sharing ratio (Hari and Prasad) = (3/9) and (6/9)
= 3 : 6
= 1 : 2
