Solution

The correct option is C 4 : 3 : 2 : 1
S's share=1/10
Existing partners' new share= $1 / 1$ - $1 / 10$ = $9 / 10$
Now, $9 / 10$ is to be divided amongst existing partners in old ratio in following manner:
1.P= $4$ / $9$ of $9$ / $10$ = $36$ / $90$
2.Q= $3$ / $9$ of $9$ / $10$ = $27$ / $90$
3.R= $2$ / $9$ of $9$ / $10$ = $18$ / $90$
4.S= $1$ / $10$ which can be written as $9$ / $90$
Therefore, new ratio would be 36:27:18:9=4:3:2:1
