X, Y and Z have been sharing profits in the ratio of 4 : 2 : 1 Z retires. X and Y take Z’s share equally. New profit sharing ratio will be :

5 : 2

5 : 3

9 : 5

4 : 2

- Initially, the profit-sharing ratio among X, Y, and Z is 4 : 2 : 1.

- Z retires, and his share of 1 part is split equally between X and Y.

- Z's share of 1 part goes 0.5 each to X and Y.

- X's new share is 4 + 0.5 = 4.5 parts.

- Y's new share is 2 + 0.5 = 2.5 parts.

- The new ratio of X to Y is 4.5 : 2.5.

- Simplify 4.5 : 2.5 by multiplying both by 2 to get 9 : 5.

Correct Answer: Option 3 - 9 : 5
