Question

: a and b are partners in a firm sharing profit and loss in the ratio of 3:2. They admit c into partnership for ¼ share and the new ratio between a and b is 2:1. The sacrificing ratio is

Answer 1

sacrifice ratio is one upon two

Answer 2

Share of C = 1/4

Remaining share to be distributed among A and B in the ratio 2:1 is

1 -(1/4) =3/4

New share of A = (3/4) / (2/3) = 6/12= 1/2

New share of B = (3/4) (1/3) = 3/12 = 1/4

Old Share of A - New share of A = Sacrificing Ratio of A = (3/5) - (1/2)= (1/10) (2/2) = 2/20

Old share of B - New share of B = Sacrificing Ratio of B = (2/5) -(1/4)= (3/20)

Sacrificing Ratio Of A : Sacrificing Ratio of B = 2:3
