A and B share profits in the ratio of 3 : 2. Z joins the firm with 1/4 th share.
Find out sacrificing ratio.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Sacrificing Ratio :

A : B = 3 : 2

Explanation:

Solution :

Old Ratio :

A : B = 3 : 2

A's Share = 3/5

B's Share = 2/5

Z joins the firm with 1/4 th share

Z's Share = 1/4

Let,

Total Profit of Share = 1

So,

Remaining Share =

1 - 1/4 = 3/4

• A's New Share =

⇒ 3/5 × 3/4 = 9/20

• B's New Share =

⇒ 2/5 × 3/4 = 6/20

• Z's Share = 1/4 = 5/20

★ New Profit Sharing Ratio =

• A : B : Z
• 9/20 : 6/20 : 5/20

A : B : Z = 9 : 6 : 5

★ Sacrificing Ratio :

Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio - New Ratio

• A = 3/5 - 9/20 = 3/20

• B = 2/5 - 6/20 = 2/20

Sacrificing Ratio =

• A : B
• 3/20 : 2/20

∴ Sacrificing Ratio :

A : B = 3 : 2
