Question

Veena and Varma are partners sharing profits and losses in the ratio 2:3. They admit Malu for 2/5 share which she acquired equally from Veena and Varma. Calculate the new ratio and sacrificing ratio. a)1:2:2 and 1:1. b)1:1 and 2:3. c)3:2 and 1:1. d)None of these.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is (a) 1:2:2 and 1:1

Explanation:

if malu is taking 2/5th share equally from both of existing partners then each of them would be sacrificing:-

2/5 whole divided by 2 = 2/10

so they both are sacrificing 2/10 that mean they are sacrificing equally or in 1:1

Deduct their sacrifice from their existing ratio and make denominators equal you will get 2:4:4 i.e 1:2:2
