​

Answer 1

Given:

• Anil and Sunil are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio 3:2.
• Ashok is admitted as a partner for 1/4th of the shares.
• The new profit-sharing ratio of Anil and Sunil will be 2:1.

To find: The sacrificing ratio between Anil and Sunil.

Answer:

• Anil's old share = 3/5
• Sunil's old share = 2/5

• Ashok's share = 1/4

• Anil's new share = 2/3
• Sunil's new share = 1/3

Let the total profit be assumed as 1.

The remaining share for Anil and Sunil = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4.

Calculation of the new profit-sharing ratio:

New ratio = New share × Remaining share

For Anil:

• New ratio = 2/3 × 3/4 = 6/12 = 2/4

For Sunil:

• New ratio = 1/3 × 3/4 = 3/12 = 1/4

For Ashok:

• New ratio = 1/4

Therefore, the new profit-sharing ratio of Anil, Sunil and Ashok is 2:1:1.

Calculation of the sacrificing ratio:

Sacrificing ratio = Old share - New share

For Anil:

• Sacrificing ratio = 3/5 - 2/4 = (12 - 10)/20 = 2/20

For Sunil:

• Sacrificing ratio = 2/5 - 1/4 = (8 - 5)/20 = 3/20

Therefore, the sacrificing ratio between Anil and Sunil is 2:3.
