• 1 : 2

• 3 : 5

• 2 : 1

• 1 : 7

Answer 1

2 : 1

Explanation:

If C is admitted for `1/5` share then the remaining share = `1 - 1/5 = 4/5`

Share is available for A and B which they will share in the ratio of 2 : 1.

So the new profit sharing ratio for A = `4/5 xx 2/3 = 8/15`

For B, the new profit sharing ratio = `4/5 xx 1/3 = 4/15`

So, new ratio is 8 : 4 : 3.

Sacrificing ratio = Old Ratio − New Ratio

A's sacrificing ratio = `2/3 - 8/15 = 2/15`

B's sacrificing ratio = `1/3 - 4/15 = 1/15`
