    Gaining Ratio = New Ratio − Old Ratio
    Step 1: Find the old profit-sharing ratio
    A : B : C = 12 : 13 : 16
    Total = 12 + 13 + 16 = 41
    So,
    A's old share = 12/41
    B's old share = 13/41
    C's old share = 16/41
    Step 2: Determine the new ratio
    Since no new ratio is given, we assume A and B continue in their old ratio (12:13).
    Thus,
    A's new share = 12/25
    B's new share = 13/25
    Step 3: Calculate gain of each partner
    A's gain:
    12/25 - 12/41 = 192/1025 =12
    13/25 - 13/41 = 208/1025 =13
