Answer 1

Emmie and Florence are partners sharing profit and losses in the ratio of 4:1. glen is admitted

Explanation:

Old share ( Emmie and Florence ) = 4 : 1

Glen is admitted for 1/4 Share  

Emmie sacrifices in favour of Glen= 1/4

New ratio = Old ratio - Sacrificing ratio

Emmie's new ratio = (4/5) - (1/4) = 11/20

Florence's new share = (1/5) - 0 = 1/5 or 4/20

Glen's share = 1/4 or 5/20

∴, new profit sharing ratio of Emmie, Florence and Glen = 11 : 4 : 5
