Question

A and B are partners in a firm sharing profits in the ratio of 5 : 3. They admit C as a new partner for `1/5` share. New Ratio will be 3 : 1 : 1. Sacrificing ratio will be:

विकल्प

• 5 : 3

• 1 : 7

• 2 : 1

• 1 : 2

Answer 1

1 : 7

Explanation:

Old ration of A and B is 5 : 3

New ratio of A, B and C is 3 : 1 : 1

Sacrificing ratio = Old ratio − New ratio

Sacrificing ratio of A = `5/8 - 3/5 = 1/40`

Sacrificing ratio of B = `3/8 - 1/5 = 7/40`

Sacrificing ratio of A and B = 1 : 7
