Calculation of gain or sacrifice:
Formula : Old Share – New Share
X = 4/9 – 3/5 = 7/45 Gain
Y = 3/9 – 1/5 = 6/45 Sacrifice
Z = 2/9 - 1/5 = 1/45 Sacrifice

Partnership Agreement:
- Initially, X, Y, and Z share profits in the ratio of 4:3:2.
- The partners have now decided to share future profits in the ratio of 3:1:1.
Calculating Profit Sharing:
To determine the gainer partner, we need to compare the profit share of each partner in the initial and future ratios.
Initial Profit Sharing:
- Let the initial profit be P.
- X's share = (4/9)P
- Y's share = (3/9)P
- Z's share = (2/9)P
Future Profit Sharing:
- X's share = (3/5)Q
- Y's share = (1/5)Q
- Z's share = (1/5)Q
Comparing Profit Shares:
To find the gainer partner, we need to compare the change in profit shares between the initial and future ratios.
Change in X's Profit Share:
- Initial share: (4/9)P
- Future share: (3/5)Q
- Change: (3/5)Q - (4/9)P
Change in Y's Profit Share:
- Initial share: (3/9)P
- Future share: (1/5)Q
- Change: (1/5)Q - (3/9)P
Change in Z's Profit Share:
- Initial share: (2/9)P
- Future share: (1/5)Q
- Change: (1/5)Q - (2/9)P
Comparing Changes:
Since the question asks for the gainer partner, we need to identify the partner with the highest positive change in profit share.
- Change in X's share = (3/5)Q - (4/9)P
- Change in Y's share = (1/5)Q - (3/9)P
- Change in Z's share = (1/5)Q - (2/9)P
Calculating Gainer Partner:
To find the gainer partner, we compare the changes in profit share.
- Change in X's share = (3/5)Q - (4/9)P
- Change in Y's share = (1/5)Q - (3/9)P
- Change in Z's share = (1/5)Q - (2/9)P
The partner with the highest positive change in profit share is the gainer partner. In this case, the change in X's profit share is the highest, indicating that X is the gainer partner. Therefore, option B - X is the gainer, is the correct answer.

In this situation X partner is gainer we can find that by calculating there sacrifice ratio
