Correct Answer: New ratio 7:3 and Gaining ratio 2:1


Solution : Answer = New ratio 7:3 and Gaining ratio 2:1

Hari, Mohan and Sohan= 5:3:2

Mohan's share= $\frac{3}{10}$

Hari takes= $\frac{3}{10}×\frac{2}{3}$=$\frac{6}{30}$
Sohan takes= $\frac{3}{10}×\frac{1}{3}$=$\frac{3}{30}$.

Hari=$\frac{5}{10}+\frac{6}{30}=\frac{15+6}{30}=21/ 30$
Sohan= $\frac{2}{10}+\frac{3}{30}=\frac{6+3}{30}=9/ 30$

N.P.S.R= 21:9= 7:3
G.Ratio= 2:1
Hence, the correct option is 1.
