Since C was made a partner for 1/4th of the share, it
means that the remaining share, that is, 3/4th of the share
was invested by A & B.
Now, let's calculate A's and B's sacrifice in favour of C, as:
A's sacrifice in favour of C = 3/4 × 1/2 = 3/8
B's sacrifice in favour of C = 3/4 × 1/2 = 3/8
New ratio = A: B: C = 3/8 : 3/8: 1/4 = 3/8 : 3/8: 2/8 = 3: 3: 2.
We can now calculate the sacrificing ratio by using the
relation: Sacrificing ratio = Old ratio - New ratio
Sacrifing ratio for A = 3/5 - 3/8 = 24/40 - 15/40 = 9/40
Sacrifing ratio for B = 2/5 - 3/8 = 16/40 - 15/40 = 1/40
Sacrificing ratio for A and B together is = 9/40 : 1/40 = 9:1
