(a)(i) Mala & Neela each gain 1/5 → gaining ratio 1:1. (a)(ii) Sunil 3/10+4/10=7/10, Sumathi 3/10 → new ratio 7:3, Sunil is the sole gainer. (b) Each item shown as % of balance-sheet total for Yasmin Ltd. and Sakthi Ltd.

(a)(i) Gaining ratio — Kayal retires (Kayal : Mala : Neela = 2 : 2 : 1)

Gaining ratio = New share − Old share.

  • Old shares: Kayal 2/5, Mala 2/5, Neela 1/5.
  • New shares (Mala : Neela = 3 : 5)... i.e. 3 : 2 → Mala 3/5, Neela 2/5.

Mala3/52/51/5
Neela2/51/51/5

Gaining ratio = 1/5 : 1/5 = 1 : 1.

(a)(ii) New ratio & gaining ratio — Sundari retires (Sunil : Sumathi : Sundari = 3 : 3 : 4)

Sundari's share = 4/10 is taken entirely by Sunil.

  • Sunil's new share = 3/10 + 4/10 = 7/10
  • Sumathi's new share = 3/10

New profit-sharing ratio (Sunil : Sumathi) = 7 : 3.

Gaining ratio: Sunil gains 4/10, Sumathi gains nil → Sunil is the sole gainer (gain = 4/10). There is no ratio to split, as only one partner gains.
