Question

A and B are partners sharing profits in the ratio of 5: 3. A surrenders 1/4th of his share
and B surrenders 1/5 of his share in favour of C, a new partner. What is the sacrificing
ratio?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Old ratio (A : B) = 5 : 3

C admits for 3/10 share

A sacrifices in favour of C = 1/5

B sacrifices in favour of C = 1/10

New ratio = Old ratio - sacrificing ratio

A's new share = (5/8) - (1/5) = 17/40

B's new share = (3/8) - (1/10) = 22/80 or 11/40

C's share = 3/10 or 12/40

Therefore, new share of A, b and C is 17 : 11 : 12
