Question

Rakesh and Suresh are sharing profits in the ratio of 4 : 3 . Zaheer joins and the new ratio among Rakesh, Suresh and Zaheer is 7 : 4 : 3. Find out the sacrificing ratio.

Answer 1

Sacrificing Ratio is calculated as below.

Explanation:

Ratio in which Rakesh and Suresh share profits is given as 4:3.  

New ratio for Rakesh, Suresh and Zaheer, after Zaheer joins = 7:4:3

Calculating Sacrificing Ratio:

To calculate the Sacrificing Ratio, we need to deduct New ratio from Old ratio:

Sacrificing Ratio = Old Ratio-New Ratio

Rakesh’s share

$\begin{aligned}&=\frac{4}{7}-\frac{7}{14}\\&=\frac{1}{14}\end{aligned}$

Suresh’s share

$\begin{aligned}&=\frac{3}{7}-\frac{4}{14}\\&=\frac{2}{14}\end{aligned}$

Thus, Sacrificing ratio of Rakesh: Suresh

$=\frac{1}{14}: \frac{2}{14}$

$=1: 2$

Thus, the sacrificing ratio becomes 1:2.
