Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Amit’s share = 1/10
Vishesh gains 2/5 of Amit’s share = 2/5 × 1/10 = 1/25
Manik gains 3/5 of Amit’s share = 3/5 × 1/10 = 3/50 New share:
Vishesh = 5/10 + 1/25 = (25 + 2)/50 = 27/50
Manik = 4/10 + 3/50 = (20 + 3)/50 = 23/50
New Ratio = 27 : 23
Vishesh gains 2/5 of Amit’s share = 2/5 × 1/10 = 1/25
Manik gains 3/5 of Amit’s share = 3/5 × 1/10 = 3/50 New share:
Vishesh = 5/10 + 1/25 = (25 + 2)/50 = 27/50
Manik = 4/10 + 3/50 = (20 + 3)/50 = 23/50
New Ratio = 27 : 23
