Question

balaji and kamalesh are partners sharing profit and losses in the ratio of 2:1 they admit yogesh into the partnership.the new profit sharing ratio balaji , kamalesh and yogesh is agreed to 3:1:1 find the sacrificing ratio between balaji and kamalesh.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Old Ratio :

Balaji : Kamalesh = 2 : 1

• Balaji = 2/3
• Kamalesh = 1/3

They admit Yogesh into the partnership.the new profit sharing ratio balaji , kamalesh and yogesh is agreed to 3:1:1

New Ratio =

Balaji : Kamalesh : Yogesh = 3 : 1 : 1

• Balaji = 3/5
• Kamalesh = 1/5
• Yogesh = 1/5

Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio - New Ratio

• Balaji =

= 2/3 - 3/5 = (10-9)/15

= 1/15

• Kamalesh =

= 1/3 - 1/5 = (5-3)/15

= 2/15

Sacrificing Ratio =

• Balaji : Kamalesh
• 1/15 : 2/15
• 1 : 2

Hence, the Sacrificing Ratio between Balaji and Kamalesh = 1 : 2
