Question

. A and B are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 3 : 2. They

decided to share future profits equally. Calculate A’s gain or sacrifice​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

0.5x

Explanation:

Let A's share = 3x

B's share = 2x

Total profit = 3x+2x

= 5x

Equal shares between the two = 5x/2 = 2.5x

A's sacrifice = 3x -2.5x

= 0.5x

Hope this helps

Answer 2

Explanation:

Solution :

★ Old Ratio :

A : B = 3 : 2

• A's Share = 3/5
• B's Share = 2/5

They decided to share future profits equally.

★ New Profit Sharing Ratio :

A : B = 1 : 1

• A's Share = 1/2
• B's Share = 1/2

★ Sacrificing or Gaining Ratio =

Old Ratio - New Ratio

• A =

⇒ 3/5 - 1/2

⇒ (6 - 5)/10

⇒ 1/10 -------- (Sacrifice)

• B =

⇒ 2/5 - 1/2

⇒ (4 - 5)/10

⇒ - 1/10 --------- (Gain)

A’s Sacrifice = 1/10

Therefore, A’s Sacrifice = 1/10.
