Question

A and B are partners in the ratio of 7 : 3. They admit C for 1/5 shares, half of which he acquires in
equal proportions from both and the remaining half is given only by A to C. What is the sacrificing
ratio?
(1)
(a) 1:1
(b) 3:1
(c) 2:1
(d) 7:3
​

Answer 1

Answer:

1:1

Explanation:

given

share of c is=1/7;

so remaining share is 6/7;

it is already given as A and B are equal partners,so

share of A=3/7 and B=3/7;

let we take the profit for 1 year,then

the profits ratios are 3/7:3/:1/7

on simplifying we get 3:3:1;

let the total profit for one year be 50000

so let p=profit

3 p+3 p+p=35000;

1 p=35000/7;

p=5000;

finally the profit of A is 3 p=3(5000)=15000;

the profit of B is =3 p=3(5000)=15000;

the profit of c is p=5000;

we concluded as the profit ratio of both A and B are 1:1
