Question

a and b are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio of 4:5.they admit c for a tenth share . find the new ratio and sacrificing ratio.

Answer 1

Answer:

Let total share of profit be 1

C'share =1/10

Remaining share = 1-1/10=9/10

Remaining share 9/10 divided by A and B in 4:5 ratio

A's new share = 9/10×4/9=4/10

B'new share = 9/10×5/9=5/10

C ' share = 1/10

New ratio = 4/10:5/10:1/10

=4:5:1

sacrifice ratio = old ratio - new ratio

A= 4/9-4/10

=40-36/90=4/90

B = 5/9-5/10=50-45/90=5/90

Sacrifice ratio = 4/90:5/90=4:5
