Correct Answer: 31 : 14 : 15 


Solution : Answer = 31: 14: 15 

Y = 2/3 -3/20 = 40 -9/60 = 31/60

M = 1/3 - 2/20 = 20 -60/60 = 14/60

K takes = 1/4 x 3/5 from Y = 3/20 from Y

K takes = 1/4 x 2/5 from M = 3/20 from M

K = 3/20 + 2/20 = 5/20 x 3/3 =15/60

New profit sharing ratio = 31:14:15
Hence, the correct option is 3.
